Recipe for success:
These 2 things should be done weekly.
1. Fellowship
A. Acts 2:44-47
B. I Timothy 4:12-13
C. I Thessalonians 3:12
2. Service
A. Titus 2:7
B. Titus 3:8
Just as there are things that we must build into our lives daily to experience an intense relationship with Christ, there are two things that should be done weekly that fill the needs of others. In the body of Christ we must be relational or else we are useless. These are two ways that we pour into others as Christ pours into us.
Fellowship:
Meeting together for Church and for Bible study both have their place in bringing about growth in our walk but I have found through both observation and experience that adding additional fellowship increases our walk with Christ and also meets the needs of those God puts into our lives on a daily basis. These are some suggestions to start building fellowship into your weekly routine
Try to mix it up – commit to lunch with the same person for 3 month’s then rotate to a different person the next 6 months. When fellowshipping at church, set a goal to meet one new person each month.
Service:
These are some ministries that my church has. Check to see what is offered where you live.

These are some suggestions to start building fellowship into your weekly routine
- Church – get there an hour early or stay for an extra hour and fellowship
- Meet for coffee, go see a movie, go to a ballgame, go fishing
- Set up a weekly lunch meeting with 1-2 guys. Don’t cancel unless it’s an emergency.
- Call at least one other person who you trust to keep you accountable each week.
- Call someone from church that you haven’t seen in a month.
