    Subject of this meeting is:
    \n(7) Fellowship \u2013 Its Blessings and its Burdens<\/p>\n

    We read in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 that there are 2 differences in the way Paul writes of the breaking of bread.
    \nIn chapter 10 Paul mentions the cup before the bread and notice, the bread stands for two things and not one.
    \nThe reason he has reversed the order is because he is not talking of what we do at the Lord\u2019s Supper, but the results of what we have done at the Lord\u2019s Supper.
    \nAnd so the cup and the blood that is the basis of everything we do, is mentioned first.<\/p>\n

    The partaking of bread too has two meanings.
    \nFirst of all it is my participation of what Christ has done at Calvary.
    \nAnd second, as we each partake, we are together confessing that we are One Body and One Fellowship.<\/p>\n

    Now if we were just preaching the Lord\u2019s Supper we would make this distinction between chapters 10 and 11.
    \nChapter 10 tells me when I am part taking the Lord\u2019s Supper; it should control what I do when I am not here.
    \nChapter 11 tells me when I am partaking the Lord\u2019s Supper how I should act when I am here.<\/p>\n

    And so in Chapter 10 the problem was other fellowships that they were going to, that was contrary to the Word of God.
    \n And so when they were partaking of the Lord\u2019s Supper and breaking bread, they could not belong to two fellowships at one time. It shows how inconsistent it is to go to the table of idols and also to the Lord\u2019s Table.
    \nAnd so chapter 10 controls what I do when I am not here.<\/p>\n

    But chapter 11 deals on how they were behaving when they were there:
    \nPutting others to shame and despising the assembly.
    \nSo breaking the bread also controls our behavior towards others.<\/p>\n

    Now the misunderstanding of this passage:
    \n1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
    \nSome believers read this and think they are not worthy to part take the Lord\u2019s Supper as they are not living as they ought to, or that they had a bad week and therefore not worthy.<\/p>\n

    I do not part take of the Lord\u2019s Supper because I am worthy.
    \nI part take because He is worthy.
    \nWhat Paul is saying and is referring to here is, part taking of the Lord\u2019s Supper in a worthy manner.
    \nThey were not realizing what they were doing.
    \nSo Paul was warning them of the danger of viewing it as just another meal.<\/p>\n

    So, does it mean stay home? No.
    \nLet him examine himself and so let him eat and drink of that cup.
    \nNone of us are worthy. But He is worthy.
    \nAnd He deserves my confession and proclamation of His death till He come.<\/p>\n

    But others may say \u2013 we don\u2019t get along, and so we cannot part take of the Lord\u2019s Supper.
    \nAnd so if I do part take I am hypocritical.
    \nThis is a poor excuse and unbalanced.<\/p>\n

    The Lord Jesus has told you what to do.
    \nIf you bring your gift to the altar and worship and then remember something against your brother, then first be reconciled with your brother, then come and worship.
    \nSo you are responsible to go and try to be reconciled.
    \nBut if he will not be reconciled, that does not matter.
    \nYou have gone with a forgiving spirit and you are freed of the burden of the problem.
    \nSo we cannot sit back and say I cannot get along with that brother.<\/p>\n

    In some parts of the world it is tragic.
    \nShould a brother come into an assembly where there is someone who neither gets along with that brother and the assembly that he comes from \u2026 and although the over seers do receive him and read out the letter of commendation, that brother who that does not like the visiting brother will not part take of the Lord\u2019s Supper.
    \nNow what is this brother saying in the light of 1 Corinthians 10?
    \nHe is saying \u2013 I have no part in the death of Christ, and I am no longer in this assembly.
    \nHe has essentially put himself out of fellowship.
    \nIt is a tremendously serious thing to refuse to take the emblems
    \nYou will not find a single Scripture to support disciplining yourself with another brother.
    \nDiscipline is always an assembly matter.
    \nIt is never what I decide to do with another brother.
    \nIf the assembly has received the brother I do not like, I should submit to his acceptance into the assembly fellowship.
    \nI may privately express my concerns, but it should never evolve into a major issue in the assembly.
    \nSo the Breaking of bread has tremendous implications for our lives.
    \nPaul told us we declare and proclaim the Lord\u2019s death and if you refuse to part take of the emblems, you are saying that the Lord\u2019s death means nothing to me.
    \nSo you can see the seriousness and the solemnity of what we are doing at the Lord\u2019s Supper.<\/p>\n

    Burdens and Obligations of Fellowship:
    \n\u2022\tIt speaks of a fervent consecration to Christ.
    \n\u2022\tA full commitment to the gathering of the assembly.
    \n\u2022\tA flawless testimony in godliness
    \n\u2022\tA fragrant life of growth.<\/p>\n

    It is growth that I want to speak of now.
    \nWe can speak of growth in many different spheres.
    \nCertainly there must be growth in our appreciation of Christ.
    \nRecall the instructions given in the meal offering in Leviticus chapter 2?
    \nWhen the offering was brought, he took a handful and put it on the altar for God.
    \nThe question is: Did God fit as much as his hand could hold?
    \nIs my hand growing every year so I have more to give to Christ?<\/p>\n

    There should be growth in my Christ likeness too.
    \nYou remember the story of Hannah and Samuel?
    \nEvery year Hannah went to visit Samuel and every year she made a new coat for him.
    \nShe expected growth in her son every year.
    \nSo it is not just my hand growing, but am I growing more in Christ likeness?<\/p>\n

    Now our Greatest Need:
    \nI don\u2019t want to minimize growth in my appreciation of Christ likeness.
    \nI don\u2019t want to minimize growth to be more like Christ.
    \nBut I want to talk of my growth in my relationship with other believers.
    \nYou may not think this as an important subject, but problems that arise in assemblies rarely arise over doctrine but they arise mostly in the problem of getting along with each other.
    \nThe Word of God is so crystal clear in how we are to treat each other, and we can hold on to such truth for the rest of the Word of God and fail to carry out what is definite.<\/p>\n

    There are 4 things I want to leave with you before I leave Singapore:
    \n1.\tFinding beauty in other believers
    \n2.\tFostering the good and the blessing of other believers
    \n3.\tA forbearing in blemishes of other believers
    \n4.\tAnd the most difficult of all \u2013 Forgiving the bruises of believers.
    \nThese are the four things we fail in as believers in carrying them out.<\/p>\n

    1 \u2013 Finding beauty in other believers:
    \nIt means looking for Christ likeness in other believers and looking for things in them that God finds pleasure in.
    \nBut then you may say: \u201cBut you don\u2019t know them! And I can\u2019t see anything in them!\u201d
    \nThere are 2 possibilities for this:
    \n1. Most likely, there is something wrong with you.
    \n2.There maybe something wrong with them, but most likely the beam is in your own eye.
    \nRemember, God finds something to appreciate in every believer.
    \nThey may have a weakness, but God appreciates them, and so I should strive to find that in other believers. It may not be easy \u2026 and it might mean having to get closer to them to begin to appreciate them.
    \nSo if I look for Christ instead of all the defects, it will help the assembly.<\/p>\n

    Fostering the Blessings of others:
    \nCome to Romans chapter 12 to discover how many times Paul writes \u201cone another \u2026 one another?\u201d
    \nWell over 30 times!
    \nPaul expects Christianity to be lived in community together.
    \nHe expects us to be a blessing to one another.
    \nNotice verses 9 and 10 \u2013 First of all in the practice of love: Actually in the compass of these two verses, he uses three different words to describe love and one is not superior to the other.
    \nRom 12:9 [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
    \nRom 12:10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; <\/p>\n

    They are all different and each of them has their place.
    \nAgape \u2013 Is the causeless and unconditional love.
    \nBrotherly Love \u2013 Philadelphia Love
    \nKindly Affection \u2013 Family Love
    \nWe are reminded that we have an obligation to love each other and to love in every way possible.
    \n\u2022\tI love you for no other reason than the command to love you.
    \n\u2022\tI love you because you are my brother
    \n\u2022\tI love you because I find things in you that in the family we can enjoy together.
    \nAnd so let your love be without hypocrisy or pretense.
    \n1 Corinthians 13 is a fitting commentary on the way we should love.
    \nLove covers faults and failings
    \n(Here it is not talking of the sins that the assembly needs to deal with)
    \nBut rather we do not publicize to the unsaved the little inconsistencies of the believers.
    \nLove always credits others with the best motives.
    \nLove always expects change.
    \nLove always perseveres and continues to seek what is lost.
    \nHave you ever heard a believer saying I am leaving the assembly because you do not love me?
    \nWhat is wrong with that statement?
    \nNowhere in the Bible do we find that I am to look for love from you.
    \nThe Bible commands me to love you.
    \nSo if I am complaining you do not love me, I am just thinking of MYSELF.
    \nMy response is to love without conditions, and to love without ceasing and to persevere in that love.<\/p>\n

    Some may ask – what it means to credit others with the best motive?
    \nSo often we assume that people love for the wrong reason.
    \nAnd then we think we are so discerning because we have detected a wrong motive for what they are doing.
    \nPaul says love not only bears all things but believes the best of others.<\/p>\n

    I have 60 years of practice of doing that exact thing.
    \nWhen something goes wrong, I always make it seem not so bad.
    \nI can always make it seem less bad.
    \nSo Paul says \u2026 instead of thinking this way for yourself, THIS is the way you should think of other believes.
    \nSo the First Command and this is not a suggestion\u2026
    \nTHIS is a Command by the Holy Spirit and Paul to LOVE.<\/p>\n

    The Second is the Priority of others.
    \nIn verse 10 you find \u2018 preferring one another\u2019.
    \nRom 12:10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
    \nThis means to outdo another person in order to advance them.
    \nThe idea is no competition or rivalry or manipulation so that I can have an important place.
    \nSo it is my responsibility to help every believer to be a Christian.
    \nIt is especially my responsibility in the assembly. I am to foster the good in others.<\/p>\n

    THIS is what it means in Philippians chapter 2:
    \nThe Lord Jesus esteemed others better than Himself.
    \nThis does not mean HE thought I was a better person than He was, because that would be false.
    \nTo esteem others better than ourselves is to put the welfare of others before my own welfare.
    \nThe Lord Jesus did this to preserve us form going to hell. He took our punishment at Calvary.
    \nThat\u2019s how far the Lord Jesus went in honoring me ahead of Himself.
    \nAnd so you should be marked by this SAME PRINCIPLE of putting others ahead of yourself.<\/p>\n

    In Verse 11 \u2026.
    \nOur Authorized Version poorly translates:
    \nRom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; <\/p>\n

    It is not slothfulness rather being diligent and burning hot in my spirit in serving the Lord.
    \nSo in my diligence I am not slothful \u2013 it is the measure in which I do it.
    \nFervent in spirit \u2013 is the manner in which I do it.
    \nAnd Serving the Lord is the motive by which I do it.
    \nIf YOU serve Christians you burnout and get discouraged.
    \nBut if you serve the Lord, He directs you to serve His people and He gives you the grace.<\/p>\n

    The Lord Jesus was a bond slave.
    \nBut He never was a bond slave of men.
    \nHe was a Servant of Jehovah, and as He served Jehovah, He met the needs of men.
    \nSo here we are reminded to serve the Lord and as we serve Him, we will serve His people.
    \nBecause if you try to put verses 9 and 10 into practice, you will get very little appreciation and if you are not serving the Lord, you will give up quickly.
    \nSo we are reminded of the persistence that is needed.<\/p>\n

    Now ask a practical question:
    \nWhen was the last time you thought of someone in the assembly in how I can help that Christian?
    \nOr how can I advance them in some way?
    \nThe writer of Hebrews used a word to describe this \u2013 Consider one another to provoke them to good works.
    \nThe word he uses for \u2018consider\u2019 is to study someone \u2026 to try to understand what would be a help to them. And so we need to be persistent and not give up easily.<\/p>\n

    But then there is also Perception that is needed:
    \nRom 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
    \nRom 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
    \nRom 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
    \nRom 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
    \n: 12 is all about pray and persistence.
    \n:13 is about sympathy of material needs
    \n:14 is about spiritual needs
    \n:15 is about emotional needs
    \nSo we need to be available to believers to meet all the above things.
    \nIf all we do is preach truth and never love this truth, we are failing to carry out the full truth of God.
    \nWe must learn to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those that rejoice.
    \nWe need to know when to rejoice and when to weep.<\/p>\n

    In Galatians Chapter 6 we are commanded to bear one another\u2019s burdens.
    \nGal 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. <\/p>\n

    There are some believers who bear tremendous burdens in life.
    \nThey are not burdens of a day or a week or even a year, but the burden of a lifetime.
    \nAnd we need to be there to bear them.
    \nBut if you are NOT praying and NOT studying, please DO NOT go to comfort them.<\/p>\n

    There were 3 men with good intentions who went to comfort Job.
    \nThey were very wise. For 7 days they said nothing.
    \nThe problem started when they opened their mouths.
    \nIf you don\u2019t understand people do not try to comfort them, because these men who came to comfort Job when they were finally done with their talking, God told them \u2013 You have NOT spoken a single thing that is right about Me!
    \nThe many things that they said were true.
    \nBut it had nothing to do with Job.
    \nSo don\u2019t just quote Scripture and think there are easy answers.
    \nIt is far better sometimes to weep with them same as like Ezekiel did.
    \nHe sat with the captives.
    \nIt is sometimes better to comfort them by just your presence.<\/p>\n

    Forbearing for Blemishes:
    \nBoth \u2013 Ephesians chapter 4 and Colossians Chapter 3 remind us of forbearing in love.
    \nSo the beginning of verse 12 will help us differentiate between \u2018infirmities\u2019 and \u2018sin\u2019.
    \nCol 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
    \nCol 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. <\/p>\n

    They are little things about our personality that may bother someone else.
    \nExample\u2013 the way a person coughs or may be the shaking of a leg that may be distracting or just being fidgety \u2026
    \nSpirit of God says, learn to forbear them.<\/p>\n

    Below are some things to keep in mind to help us learn to forbear:
    \n1 They are elect:
    \nGod has chosen them. They are God\u2019s nobility.
    \nThey are holy in God\u2019s sight and He loves them and you are instead all occupied with the little things.
    \nSo you be careful of what you do of someone God loves.
    \nIt is our responsibility to see them in that light.
    \nLearn to have mercy. We tend to be quick and hard on people.
    \nBe merciful, humble and meek. This is power under control.<\/p>\n

    So what does all this mean?
    \nFirst of all it means respecting others and valuing them as fellow-heirs of eternal life.
    \nAppreciate the beauty of Christ in them while also recognizing the differences in personality in the way God has created each one of us.
    \nNone of us are the same.
    \nIf everyone in the assembly was like you would there be anyone you would not be able to get along with?
    \nYou probably would.
    \nGod made some people shy, others bold \u2026Some always looking sad while others are always joking.
    \nThere are a multitude of personalities and we must learn to live with each other.
    \nAnd so we must learn to live with each other in our differences that are not sin but just personality traits.
    \nWe need to learn to forbear by recognizing our differences and restraining ourselves.<\/p>\n

    The Lord Jesus taught His disciples for three and a half years.
    \nHow many times did He rebuke them during His teaching ministry of three and a half years with them?
    \nRemember, the Lord Jesus is the perfect man, with no beam in His own eye.
    \nHe had perfect discernment to see into hearts and actions that we could not.
    \nYet in his three and a half years He rebukes:
    \n\u2022\tPeter \u201cGet thee behind me Satan\u201d
    \n\u2022\tJames and John who wanted to call down fire from heaven with:
    \n\u201cYou do not know what manner of spirit you are.\u201d
    \n\u2022\tAnd in the Resurrection in Mark 16, He unbraided his disciples for their unbelief.
    \nSo in the three and half years of teaching them, the Lord Jesus rebuked them 3 times.
    \nMost of us do it 3 times a week.
    \nLearn the lesson from the Lord Jesus. He was very slow to rebuke.
    \nDoes it mean He overlooked what was wrong?
    \nHe was constantly teaching them and moving them forward.
    \nHe did it by grace. He never had a whip for His disciples.
    \nSo we need to learn to restrain all out displeasure.<\/p>\n

    On Forgiving:
    \nThis is NOT about infirmities and blemishes \u2026 But we are reminded that if any has a complaint \u2026
    \nThis is about bruises.
    \nIt is sad to confess that believers do bruise each other at times in ungracious actions and hurtful words.
    \nSo what do we do?
    \nWhat is the meaning of Forgiveness?
    \nFirst of all forgiveness does not mean forgetting.
    \nWe do not have the ability to forget.
    \nBut this is what it says about God:
    \n\u201cYour sins and iniquities will I remember no more.\u201d
    \nSo while we cannot forget, we can choose not to remember.<\/p>\n

    What is the difference?
    \nThe difference is that we do not allow what had happened to affect how I look at that believer today.
    \nBut on the other hand, I do not nurture the hurts that I feel.<\/p>\n

    1 Corinthians 13:5 says that love thinks no evil.
    \nWhat it means is that love takes no thought of the evil done to itself.
    \nThe expression we use in the west is that love does not keep score.
    \nIf you got a goal \u2026 just wait till it is my turn to kick. I will get even when I get a chance.
    \nBelievers are not to keep score of who said what \u2026 and when.
    \nForgiveness means all that has not happened!<\/p>\n

    What is the manner in which we forgive?
    \nThe Lord Jesus explains in the parable of the debtor.
    \nHe frankly forgave them both.
    \nThat means that there was a total clearing.<\/p>\n

    Now someone may say \u2026 But they have not apologized.
    \nI should always have a forgiving spirit – regardless.
    \nI should be willing to go and confess my part of the problem and ask for forgiveness.
    \nIt is never 100% one person\u2019s fault and zero the other person.
    \nEven if it starts out with one person, the response of the other person often aggravates the problem.
    \nSo you will never lose by taking ownership for your part of the problem.<\/p>\n

    But then, should he not come to me?
    \nListen to the Word of God. The Lord Jesus said:
    \n\u201cIf you come to the altar with your gift, and you remember that your brother has something against you \u2013 YOU GO TO HIM.
    \nIn this case, I have done something wrong to my brother and so I GO TO HIM.<\/p>\n

    Now what about Matthew 18?
    \nMy brother has done something wrong to me. And now what do I do?
    \nI GO TO HIM!
    \nSo, either way I GO TO HIM.
    \nThe one who did it and the one who was hurt by it, BOTH obey the Word of God.
    \nAnd both are \u2018gone\u2019 \u2013 This is God\u2019s plan \u2026that both seek forgiveness.<\/p>\n

    There is a principle found in the Word of God that you have to face.
    \nSpiritual men ALWAYS took the lead to seek reconciliation.
    \n\u2022\tAbraham with Lot
    \n\u2022\tDavid with Saul
    \n\u2022\tThe Lord Jesus with Judas
    \nAnd so if I sit back and say they must come to me, I am saying I am NOT spiritual.
    \nSpiritual men want to make things right.
    \nAnd so the manner of forgiveness is – FRANKLY AND FULLY.<\/p>\n

    The Motive of Forgiveness?
    \nMatthew 18 is about \u2013 Have I gained my brother?
    \nDo I value him as a fellow believer?
    \nDo I value his fellowship?<\/p>\n

    Now, there is something greater involved.
    \nIn Ephesians 4 we read:
    \nEph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. <\/p>\n

    It means that we rise to our highest spiritual level when we forgive another person.
    \nWe are acting as God acted towards us.
    \nSo please don\u2019t say \u2013 you don\u2019t know what he did to me or said to me.
    \nWas it MORE than what you did to God?
    \nSo the STANDARD is:
    \nAs God did for Christ sake, forgive you.<\/p>\n

    And remember the Ministry of forgiveness is COSTLY.
    \nIt cost God everything to forgive you.
    \nYou may have to sacrifice something to forgive your brother.
    \nYou may not get your rights or a public apology in front of all.
    \nYou may lose \u2026 but God paid a tremendous price.
    \nI would almost say that a forgiveness that costs nothing is NOT forgiveness.<\/p>\n

    So we have spoken of:
    \n\u2022\tFinding the Beauty in others
    \n\u2022\tA Fostering of Blessings for others.
    \n\u2022\tA Forgiving of bruising of others
    \nIf these things can mark us, most of our Gospel Halls will be full of people we have driven away.
    \nMay God Bless and Preserve us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
