What is the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit?

Gulf Coast Community Church - Sunday Sermons

Preacher: Jerry Cisar

“The church is not just a club of Christians who gather to express their praise and worship of God. Rather, the church is a called people, gathered to encounter and be shaped by God into a ‘peculiar people.’” (James K. A. Smith)

This term “peculiar people” is often joked about and certainly far too often applies in the way the jokes imply. But what does it mean to be a peculiar people and what makes us such people? I offer that it is the “fellowship of the Holy Spirit” (2 Cor. 13:14).

This week we will explore what it means to be a Spirit-formed community from 2 Corinthians 13:11-14 where Paul speaks of “the fellowship (koinonia) of the Spirit.” What is the koinonia of the Spirit? Why is it so transformative?

Join us in worship this Sunday as we explore how this koinonia calls forth unity, encouragement, and love from each one of us toward the other in concrete actions and thoughts.
