DCLM Sincere Milk 4 August 2025 — Bond Of Fellowship
Topic: Bond Of Fellowship
Text: Acts 2:41-47
41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Key Verse: “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42
Message
A group of young Christians went on a camping trip to a remote village on the outskirts of the town. It was a memorable moment for all of them as they had sweet fellowship with one another and great time of sharing, playing together, singing and learning to play musical instruments. They also had lots of fun doing Bible games, watching Christian movies and of course eating and drinking homemade fruit juice. That was a true fellowship.

From our Bible passage, we learn how the brethren at the time of the Acts of Apostles practised what is called true fellowship. They were bonded together by the love of Christ, they had all things in common, they ate and praised God together. Those that had land sold them and gave the money to those that had need. What a true fellowship they enjoyed.
You can experience this bond of fellowship by having the mind of Christ like the believers in Acts 2. Fellowship with the friends of Jesus and sharing all that you have with those that have need show that you love Jesus. You can share your Bible, hymn book, snacks, water, food, pen, clothes and shoes etc and as you do so, you will have your reward in heaven. Remember only friends of Jesus can enjoy true fellowship with one another.

Prayer for today: Give me the grace to show love to my fellow friends of Jesus.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
