God has given us the name Living Word Fellowship as a way for us to remember what is important to us.
Living Word: The Living Word is Jesus Christ. He is central to our church.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1:14)
Living Word: The Word of God is the Bible. It is also living and active in the lives of a believer.
“For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;” (2 Timothy 3:16)
Living Word: God calls us as His Church to live out His Word, to be witnesses wherever He puts us, to be the hands and feet (the Body) of Jesus.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest parts of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
“But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:15-16)
Fellowship: Just as we are all part of the Body of Christ, Christ our head asks us to work together in unity.
“Therefore, I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:1-6)
Our fellowship is living. It is growing in depth and outreach as we live out our faith before the world.
Our fellowship is based on the Word. We gather around and are unified around the person and work of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Bible.
