The beginning of Romans Chapter 15 dearly pinpoints the marks of a strono fellowship. Every believer can clearly know their duty in the church. Size does not determine how strong a church is spiritually. Every believer has a part to make the church strong. The characteristics are what God points out in a strong church.

1) The Strong Bear the Weak. (vs.1-3)

2) The Believer's Study the Scriptures. (vS.4)

3) Strength Comes Through Unity. (vs.5-6)

4) Strong Churches Receive One Another. (vs.7-12)

5) Strong Churches Have a lot of Hope. (vs. 13)
