Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9–10 · Ecclesiastes 12:1
Youth is one of God’s wonderful gifts. It is a season marked by strength, energy, growth, discovery, possibility, and purpose.
Memory verse: “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Closing a rich month of fellowship, this message calls us to hold unswervingly to our hope, spur one another on, and not give up meeting together as we await Christ’s return.
The Gospel of Matthew aptly presents Jesus as the promised Messiah and the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17).
Christian fellowship is more than meeting together; it means sharing a common relationship with Jesus Christ and living under the authority of God’s Word. Nehemiah 8 shows how powerfully God’s Word works when His people gather united, hungry and attentive.
If you did not come to church next Sunday, who would notice? God never designed us to grow alone. Fellowship is what happens when people who share Christ begin to share their lives.
The African Church has grown rapidly, yet spiritual maturity has not kept pace. Many believers have never been intentionally discipled, making it difficult to reproduce true discipleship in others. As a result, nominalism, traditionalism, and false teaching have weakened the Church’s witness.
The problem of the unreached world cannot be solved by social reform, political systems, or humanitarian efforts alone.
