Fellowship - Derek Prince (How to find your place)

This is a video teaching by Derek from the early 1970s. This is old film footage, and it looks it! But that is part of what makes it so special. Yes, the black-and-white image is grainy. Yes, the graphics are quite crude. But watching this DVD is like traveling in a time machine. And, of course, the teaching is pure Derek Prince—in his prime. Enjoy and be blessed!

I. Fellowship—Greek koinonia—Literally “Having Things In Common”
A. 1 Cor. 1:9—The gospel is an invitation to enter into the fellowship of Jesus
Christ.
1. “Unto” indicates that fellowship is an “end,” desirable for its own sake.
2. Preaching and teaching are “means,” successful only if they achieve the
desired “end.”

the Godhead. There are three eternal features of the Godhead:
1. Fatherhood
2. Headship
3. Fellowship
C. 1 John 1:4—Fullness of joy results from fullness of fellowship with God and with
each other
D. 1 John 1:5–6—If we entertain wrong attitudes, we are in darkness, and we are
excluded from the light of God’s fellowship.

continual cleansing.
1. Out of fellowship—out of the light

fellowship
