Grace 242
We don't go to church, we are the church. Listen in on a church plant striving to be the church who make disciples of Jesus.

Living Room – Fellowship
•
Bill Ver Velde
Title: Living Room – Fellowship
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42, Ephesians 5:30, John 13:35
Series: The 242 Blueprint
This message is the second in the series "The 242 Blueprint," which examines Acts 2:42 as a foundational model for the church. This week's sermon focuses on the topic of fellowship, using the analogy of watching football in a living room to explore what it means to be part of the Christian community.
The message outlines three biblical facets of fellowship:
- The Player: Recognizing that we are not isolated individuals but members of a team—the body of Christ. This requires a shift from individualization to incorporation.
- The Position: Every member has a unique function and spiritual gifts to use for the church. This calls for a shift from inaction to involvement.
- The Purpose: The purpose of the church's love for one another is to be so extraordinary that it shows the world who Jesus is. This requires a shift from insularity to invitation.
