RELATIONSHIPS HAVE POWER Early church were devoted to FELLOWSHIP. Koinonia: Sharing, fellowship, communion, partnership, participation, social intercourse. ONE ANOTHER is mentioned 81 times in NT. God is in fellowship with Himself.
POWERLESS VS POWERFUL PEOPLE Three types of relating: Powerless + Powerless = Controlling Powerful + Powerless = Dependent Powerful + Powerful = Free
1. Love 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4:18 (NKJV)
2. Honor 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. ROMANS 12:10 (NLT)
3. Self control 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 (ESV)
TAKING OWNERSHIP OF SELF 28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls. PROVERBS 25:28 (NKJV)
