What is real Fellowship?

Sunday night we talked about what happened after the day of Pentecost one of the things that happened was fellowship.  For those of you who haven’t grown up in the church fellowship is just a fancy word for people getting together.  But one of the things we talked about was how when they got together it was more than just cookies and coffee.  ^“They joined with the other believers and devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, sharing in the Lord’s Supper and in prayer”, “They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved” (Acts 2:42’46-47 NLT).  What is so amazing here it says that this happened daily not monthly or once a week.  They went to church and then went to each other’s homes.  They ate and prayed together.   My closest friends are the people I went to college with and I don’t even see on a regular basis.  But these are the people that for almost four years of my life I lived with, I ate almost every dinner with them and prayed with them, laughed with them, cried with them.  I wonder what would happen to our churches today if we started to actively invite people over to eat with us after church.  I understanding that we live busy lives wonder what would happen if we started working towards true fellowship in the Church.  Christ’s most powerful words to his friends came at a supper table,  “ Then he took a cup of wine, and when he had given thanks for it, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”  Then he took a loaf of bread; and when he had thanked God for it, he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”  After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This wine is the token of God’s new covenant to save you—an agreement sealed with the blood I will pour out for you.” (Luke 22:16-20)
