1. Fellowship is our responsibility to challenge each other to holiness. V24a a. Fellowship opens the door to know what each of us need. (Ps. 16:34; 40; 63) b. Fellowship reveals how each of us are suffering injustice in the world. (Prov 29:7-11) c. Fellowship serves as the basis by which tangible needs are met. (Acts 11:29) (i.) Thinking carefully about real needs is a matter of life, not a program. (I Cor 16:2) (ii.) thinking carefully about real needs is the work of grace in our own hearts. (II Cor 8:2-7) • Grace exceeds material prosperity. • Generosity is not foolish extravagance. • Generosity MUST be volitional. • Generosity is the work of grace in the heart. • This work of grace is brought about within the fellowship of believers. (iii.) Thinking carefully about real needs is based upon the fair application of abundance. (II Cor 8:12-14) (iv.) thinking carefully about real needs is not always a monetary transaction (I Peter 4:9-11)
