Fellowship- The Shared Life (1 John 1:1-4)
04/18/23 • 29 min
We encounter the voice of John, the lovesick disciple, inviting us into a deep, relational fellowship with the Father...
When fellowship is the sweetest, your desire is the strongest that others may have fellowship with you; and when, truly, your fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ, you earnestly wish that the whole Christian brotherhood may share the blessing with you.” -Charles Spurgeon

God Is Always at Work (Psalm 66:3-5, John 5:17)
“My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” -Jesus, John 5:17
God is always at work-- around us, in us, through His handiwork, but do we see it?
“God does not so much want us to do things as to let people see what He can do. . . . We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death. . . . God is not looking for extraordinary characters as His instruments, but He is looking for humble instruments through whom He can be honored throughout the ages. . . .” -A. B. Simpson

Out of the Desert & Shame to the King's Table
From 2 Samuel chapters 4 and 9, we explore the life of Mephibosheth. A royal, whose name literally means "Shame Destroyer," living in the pasture-less place (Lodebar). An invite to the King's table of restoration, though, alters his course.
He is calling out those in relationship with Him, from the desert of shame into the palace. Pull up a chair and feast with the King.
1 Peter 2:9- "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
