*The Road to Biblical Fellowship*
* *
*Introduction:*
/Question:/ What do routes 322, etc. have in common?
They all lead to State College, Pennsylvania.
These roads are jam-packed with cars full of people heading to the same place to share in the same event which is Penn State football!
Possibly show video of a Penn State football game.
Some items for consideration:
1) there is a common purpose: supporting the team
2) there is a common focal point: the game on the field
3) there is a common “fellowship”: eating food while talking about the game
Now there are probably a number of Christians at any given Penn State game.
In fact, there may be a number of Christians that went together last week to see the game.
Question: would the conversation about the football game, by these Christians, before and after the game, constitute Biblical Fellowship?
I hope the answer becomes very clear by the end of our time together today.
*Background:*
The title of the sermon today is The Road to Biblical Fellowship.
I will be using the phrase /Biblical fellowship/ as opposed to just “fellowship”.
By /Biblical Fellowship/ I mean, simply, fellowship as it is defined, or described in the Bible.
A Biblical definition of the word fellowship would look something like this: to enter into a very close, intimate partnership with someone.
The original NT word (koinwnia koinonia /koy-nohn-ee’-ah)/ is used to describe an association, a community; it also involves communion, or joint participation.
This is over against the broader usage of the word “fellowship” as it is sometimes expressed in today’s Christian culture.
Take for example the term “Fellowship Hall”, it usually is understood to mean the place in the */church building/* where Christians gather for events that usually involve food.
