Exalting the Savior (4 of 7)
Our Savior... Our Church... Our Future

1 John 1.4-7

We are learning these days about Exalting the Savior
under the heading:
Our Savior... Our Church... Our Future
As Savior... Jesus is building His Church.
As Church... We are the body of Christ.
As to our Future... It is bright and certain!
Tonight... we find ourselves in the New Testament
book of 1 John! So take your Bible and join me in 1
John chapter 1.
Now in thinking about Exalting the Savior... we have
learned that there are many ways to Exalt the Lord
Jesus. We exalt Him through our Unity! We exalt Him

Interdependence.
Now tonight... from the book of 1 John... we're going
to discover another way that together... we Exalt the
Savior! And that way is through the building of our
fellowship!
We will never grow beyond our fellowship! So goes the
fellowship... so goes the church! If somehow our
fellowship gets disrupted... everything will get
disrupted! And we must continue building up the
fellowship!

think about several aspects of Fellowship.

speaks of sharing together in a common life. To
become a sharer... to be a partner. That means we are
partners in Christ!
It comes from the word koinos which means "to have in
common." Someone has said that "fellowship is two
fellows on the same ship."
Now around the church we say, "We're having a Sunday
School fellowship on Friday night at the Jones's
home." Everybody knows that fellowship at the
Jones's home means food... sharing in a few laughs...
