Sweet Fellowship in Christ Jesus

A fellowship is a group of people who have similar interests. To fellowship, you need to join others to express your faith and be blessed by their presence and contributions.

Ecc 4:10 -12 

10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no-one to help him up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
 In this study we will examine verses from the bible to bring to the fore the advantages of Christian fellowship. We will make some time to touch on fellowships we should avoid. Let us remember that where we fellowship, how we fellowship when we meet together is what will make it loving, attractive and long lasting.

Read the scriptures below and discuss what Christian fellowship is all about.
1. Heb 10
 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

2. Prov 27:
17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.18 He who tends a fig-tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honoured. 19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

Scriptures:

Nehemiah  4:3-12

3 Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, "What they are building-if even a fox climbed up on it, he would break down their wall of stones!"4 Hear us, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.

7 But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the men of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem's walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. 8 They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. 9 But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.10 Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength
