Fellowship is not just "hanging out in Jesus' name." It is loving, edifying and admonishing one another, being like-minded, and submitting to one another. Fellowship is especially important today, when people are increasingly isolated.

Paul said the priority of a ministry should be to "Preach the word." By knowing what is in the Word—by knowing doctrine—you will know what is important to God, you will get the emphasis He gives to it, and you will get it in its proper context.

Doctrine is a bad word in some churches. But doctrine means teaching or instruction, and ignoring it can be devastating to a church. It's the instruction manual for what we should be as Christians. Without it, we are vacillating and biblically illiterate.

In building the church, the proclamation of the gospel is only the beginning. The second part is the response—the people should actively listen, and respond gladly to the message. And they should be dedicated to continuing in study, fellowship and prayer.

The church in the second chapter of Acts should be the template for the church today. That is, the church should be centered upon Jesus, and it should be dedicated to boldly proclaiming the gospel that Christ offers salvation from sin.

As a church, we shouldn't put certain people on a pedestal, as though they were more important. All the parts of the body are equal before the Lord. And we should remember that we are interdependent. No one should tell another, "I have no need of you."

All of Psalm 65 is God-centered. David didn't know what the year would bring, but he knew that God was in control. He could trust the unknown future to a known God. God will take care of your future, so give him your best.

Psalm 65 gives us a good example for prayers as we face the future. It speaks of the troubles all around, but there is no complaining. Instead, the psalm is full of praise to God for His spiritual as well as His natural blessings to mankind.

The prophecy that the messiah would be called Immanuel didn't mean that would be His name. It meant that He would literally be "God with us." He is also King—the King of the Jews, the King of Kings, and the King of all men.

God's greatest gift to us has many names—wonderful, counselor, the Prince of Peace. He is also the Christ, the Messiah, "the anointed one." But the name we know best is Jesus, and that name comes from the Hebrew for "God is Salvation."
