Disciples Fellowship and Pray - Worldview Wednesday


Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1206 of our trek, and it is Worldview Wednesday. Creating a Biblical worldview is important to have a proper perspective on today’s current events.

To establish a Biblical worldview, you must also have a proper understanding of God and His Word. On our Worldview Wednesday episodes we are in a series in which we are covering another detailed review of a book from one of today’s most prominent Hebrew Scholars Dr. Micheal S. Heiser. We are taking a deep dive and will share Dr. Heiser's insights into the question, which is also the title of his book “What Does God Want?”
Disciples Fellowship and Pray


Last week we took a broad view of how disciples take care of each other. For the next several weeks, we will drill down and explore what the specific responsibilities are as a disciple.
The first responsibility is disciples fellowship.


"Fellowship" is a New Testament word that describes the activity of the believing community. Taking care of each other is part of Biblical fellowship, because when believers meet together, needs can be discerned and met. That said, we need a short discussion of fellowship to talk about other things disciples do.

Many Christians today equate "fellowship" with having fun together. For sure, doing fun things together strengthens relationships. Enjoying the company of people builds bonds. But that really isn't biblical fellowship in the sense of becoming disciples.

The basic difference between doing fun things together and biblical fellowship is that fellowship isn't just about spending time together. It's much more intentional.

The goal of fellowship is ultimately “becoming one mind" around Jesus so that we can “have his mind in us.” In other words, the goal of fellowship is discipleship. A couple of verses from Philippians capture the idea:

Philippians 1:27 - Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

Philippians 2:1-5 - Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?  Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.  Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

What does it mean to have the mind of Christ and then to be of one mind as a community of believers? Does it mean everyone believes the same things down to the last detail? No. The Bible speaks of unity, not uniformity. A better way to understand “one mind and purpose” is that every member of the community is pursuing the same goal: to be like Jesus. The goal is harmony, not unanimity, in pursuing Christ-likeness and living in community together ...
