WEEK 8

STRENGTHEN THE FELLOWSHIP IN THE CHURCH

Main text: Hebrews 10:23-25

Memory verse: Acts 2:42 “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer”.

Introduction

With the advent of various technologies that make it possible for people to listen to preachers through various media, some people neglect the physical meeting of believers. As the memory verse shows, fellowship is present when believers gather. A strong Christian fellowship brings about revival of members, supply of member’s needs, spiritual fruitfulness and church growth. Today’s study looks at the importance of fellowship to the development of the church.

Discussion questions

1. What must Christians hold on to? Heb. 10:23

2. What should we spur one another on to? Heb. 10:24

3. Why should Christians not forsake the gathering of the saints? Heb.10:25

4. How can Christians strengthen fellowship? Acts 2:42

5. Why do some Christians avoid fellowship?

6. What happens to a church without meaningful fellowship?

Conclusion

There can be no fellowship if members are not available. Members must therefore be regular and punctual at church meetings. It is not enough to be together, we must also be united in soul, spirit and goal. Humility is the key here. The Bible tells us to esteem others above ourselves. Strong fellowship involves giving, sharing and caring among members. Sin destroys fellowship (1 John 5:8). When members of a fellowship are selfish, malicious, embittered or feel inferior to others, the survival of fellowship is threatened. “Are you a pillar or a caterpillar in the fellowship”?

WEEK 7

WHO IS A STEWARD?

Main text: Luke 19:11-27

Memory Verse: Luke 19:13 “So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas, put this money to work, he said until I come back”

Introduction

We established in our previous study that, a good steward is more than just a servant. It is also important to note that every servant is a steward. We can deduce from the parable read that every human being is still a steward of God. In the reading, we realize that all the servants put the amounts given them to good use and were rewarded differently. The Christian is therefore a steward of God. First, the Christian is a servant of Christ and then the steward of God. For every Christian is entrusted with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The greatest responsibility of the steward is to be faithful to his master. As stewards of God’s resources, we should devote ourselves to studying God’s word, living it and teaching it for the growth of the church.

Discussion questions

1. How many servants did the noble man call? Luke 19:13

2. How many servants received money? Luke 19:13

3. What form of accountability did the master request for? Luke 19:15

4. Are you a steward of God? Explain

5. How will you account for the gospel which has been entrusted to you?

6. What happens to inefficient stewards? Luke 19:22-24

7. What sort of steward are you?

Conclusion

The parable clearly shows that, the Christian is a steward of God. He must know that he is owned by God. He is a manager, to whom God has entrusted a portion of his riches. The Christian has the privilege and responsibility of taking care of God’s property and using them in ways that please God. Our study today clearly shows that, every Christian is a steward of God. Stewardship is not in titles or positions; but in the servanthood. Acknowledging that you are a servant or steward of God’s property will change the way you act in many ways. You are not an ordinary person.

STEWARDSHIP, WHAT IS IT?

Main text: Genesis 24:1-9

Memory Verse: Psalm 24:1 “The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it”.

Introduction

Stewardship is the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving. Stewards are persons who take care of another person’s property. They have the full confidence of their masters. All stewards are servants. They serve the purpose of some people. However, good stewards are more than servants. They are no longer slaves but trusted officials of a leader, who manage the household or property of the leader. Many stewards remain servants. Good stewards, however, end up not just serving but leading others even as servants. In the main text, we identify Eliezer, a trusted steward of Abraham. Eliezer was given the responsibility of choosing a wife for Isaac. For Abraham to entrust this task into the hands of Eliezer meant that if Eliezer failed, then Isaac’s marriage would also fail.

Discussion questions

1. How is Eliezer described? Vrs 2

2. What makes Eliezer an extra ordinary servant?

3. How did Eliezer demonstrate his loyalty towards Abraham? Vrs 3

4. How did Eliezer ensure that he does what pleases his master? Vrs 5

5. Why was Eliezer chosen ahead of other servants?

6. How committed was Eliezer to his master?

7. How committed are you to your leaders/employers?

Conclusion

Many Christians are comfortable with being servants. As established above, good stewards do not remain servants. However, they become trusted officials of a leader and may manage the household and property of the leader. As we have learnt today, there were many servants (stewards) in the house of Abraham. Eliezer, however, rose to become a good steward who could be entrusted with a very sensitive issue like the marriage of Isaac. With great commitment and loyalty, he discharged his duties perfectly as his master expected. This is the mark of a good steward.
