The Fellowship of Believers TALKING POINTS
Christians are a Fellowship of Believers • We believe that Jesus is the Son of God…that He died for our Salvation…that He was resurrected from the dead and now sits at the Right Hand of the Father • Our strength as disciples lies in our faith and our unity; our strength is enhanced by our numbers • Our purpose is to unite and inspire Christians • Lord, may our walk and our service be a picture of the unity of the Father, Son and Spirit in Heaven.
Claiming the Strength That We Have Been Given • “For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” (Acts 5: 38-39)
