Seeking for the church

One thing that characterized the church of the first century was fellowship — the koinonia shared by her members.

The root for this word in the Greek is the same as that for sexual union or a mortised joint.  This indicates that the fellowship they knew was more than enjoying one another's company or sharing material possessions.  Their lives were knitted together in the life of their Lord.
