WHAT IS FELLOWSHIP IN THE CYBER CHURCH?

IN LOVE (John 13:34) LONG-SUFFERING (Ephesians 4:2)* Help (Gal.6:2)COMFORT (1Thess.5:11) ONENESS (1Cor.12:26).

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen" (2 Cor.13:14)

THE PURPOSE
 Acts 2:42 could be considered a purpose statement for the church:

 "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." According to this verse, the purposes/activities of the church should be 1) teaching biblical doctrine, 2) providing a place of fellowship for believers, 3) observing the Lord's supper, and 4) praying.

CAN WE OBSERVE THE LORD'S SUPPER PRIVATELY?  YES.

ARE MANY CHRISTIANS IN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT RESTRICT THEIR ATTENDING A CHURCH?  YES

WILL GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD US TO REMEMBER THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS AS SET FORTH IN THE GOSPEL AND OBEY THE LORD'S COMMAND TO SO "REMEMBER ME"  YES!

THE FACTS

" Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand; By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that he was seen of Peter, then of the Twelve....." 1 Cor.15:1-5
 
Proverbs 20:9
"Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?"

Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower then the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man". Hebrews 2:9

" Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." Hebrews 9:12

" For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Mt.26:28 (See also 1 Cor.11:25; 2 Cor.3:6)

" For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." Hebrews10:14

Colossians 3:17 "And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him."

CYBER CHURCH IN THE AIR

The church is to teach biblical doctrine so we can be grounded in our faith. Ephesians 4:14 tells us, "Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming."
 
The church is to be a place of fellowship, where Christians can be devoted to one another and honor one another (Romans 12:10), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32), encourage one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and most importantly, love one another (1 John 3:11).
 
The church is to be a place where believers can observe the Lord's Supper, remembering Christ's death and shed blood on our behalf (1 Corinthians 11:23 - 26). The concept of "breaking bread" (Acts 2:42) also carries the idea of having meals together. This is another example of the church promoting fellowship.The final purpose of the church according to Acts 2:42 is prayer.
 
The church is to be a place that promotes prayer, teaches prayer, and practices prayer. Philippians 4:6 t- 7 encourages us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
 
Another commission given to the church is proclaiming the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18 - 20; Acts 1:8). The church is called to be faithful in sharing the gospel through word and deed. The church is to be a "lighthouse" in the community, pointing people toward our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The church is to both promote the gospel and prepare its members to proclaim the gospel (1 Peter 3:15).
 
Some final purposes of the church are given in James 1:27: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." The church is to be about the business of ministering to those in need.  The church is also to equip believers in Christ with the tools they need to overcome sin and remain free from the pollution of the world.This is done by biblical teaching and Christian fellowship.
 
So, what is the purpose of the church?Paul gave an excellent illustration to the believers in Corinth. The church is God's hands, mouth, and feet in this world—the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12 - 27). We are to be doing the things that Jesus Christ would do if He were here physically on the earth.The church is to be "Christian," "Christ-like," and Christ-following.
