FELLOWSHIP: DEVOTED TO THE TRUTH TOGETHER
Self-help books always sell well, and there will always be vendors willing to sell you foreign language tapes and CDs. But education generally works best in a group setting, and so schools will never outlive their usefulness.
In a happy, healthy church, people prize God's Word as their dearest earthly treasure. It is the Word that creates faith, sustains faith, grows faith, and shows how to put faith to work. In the first Christian assemblies that arose after the Pentecost miracle, "they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship . . ." (Acts 2:42).
Solo learning is good, but group learning is even better. Students of God's Word can learn as much from their peers as from a teacher. The questions, examples, illustrations, and ongoing discussions are a big part of what make group Bible study so fulfilling.
Would a visitor from out of town describe your congregation as a place that is devoted to the apostles' teaching?
