Dear Redeeming Grace,

In his sermon on fellowship, Jason shared this great quote from J.I. Packer:

"A body in which the blood does not circulate well is always below par, and fellowship corresponds to the circulation of the blood in the body of Christ. The church gains strength through fellowship, and loses strength without it.” - J.I. Packer

By God's grace we always want to prioritize fellowship within the body of Christ at Redeeming Grace. This can happen in many ways; unhurried conversations as we linger after a service, a weekly meeting or call, community groups, and inviting people into your home. However it happens, and whatever it looks like, our desire is that we grow in devoting ourselves to fellowship.

When this true sharing of the life of Christ happens, the blood is circulating and we experience encouragement, strength and grace in many ways. What a beautiful and valuable gift God has given us through one another.

May the Lord stir us to continue pressing into one another's lives in an ever deepening and life giving fellowship.
