Sunday exhortation · The message that opened Area Fellowship Month
Scripture: Acts 2:40–47 · John 15:5
After Pentecost, about three thousand people were added to the church in a single day. Their transformation came through Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, and it led them into a life of fellowship and fruitfulness. Our unity, too, must be found in Christ alone, the true Vine.
Key points
- Transformed in Christ: no Jesus, no fruit. Transformation begins with what God has done for us, not with our own efforts.
- Growing in Fellowship: the new believers did not stay isolated; they entered a life of fellowship as members of God’s family.
- Bearing Fruit Together: a church, cell group or ministry is truly united only when Christ is the source and Head.
Response: Pray that God will strengthen the fellowship within IFC, our area fellowships, cell groups and ministries, helping us love, forgive, encourage and care for one another as one family in Christ.
