This one word describes the relationship of a growing organism. All life is dependent upon essential things in order for that life to be sustained.
Plant life depends on sunlight, moisture and good soil in order to thrive.
Cultivated fields depend on a knowledgeable farmer to make sure this delicate balance is maintained. In the same way, a body of believers is dependent upon God for all that is needed in order for spiritual life to thrive. A big part of God's provision comes through His people. At Harvest we call this fellowship. It is more than potluck dinners and home gatherings.
