The video above may excite you to pursue greater intentionality in your relationships with other Christians!
Now we generally call “fellowship” any time Christians have coffee present and they’re together. That’s normally how we define fellowship, right? Like, go out there and you have some coffee, and we’re standing around and it’s “fellowship.”
But that’s not really what the word intends. The word actually denotes some mutual investment in a shared aim. Fellowship denotes that idea—mutual investment in a shared aim.
In other words, we all have this thing that is central to us and we all together are heading toward it and investing in it—we are in fellowship. Do you see that?
It’s not just Christians being in the room together. It’s not just Christian food or Christian coffee. It’s the shared aim—who is Jesus, and his mission and his purposes—and mutual investment in it, like, “we’re in this thing together.” We’re all playing a part. We’re in the band. We are heading in the same direction.
