    Believers are called to come together as a caring community.

    Last week, we made note of the fact that as a Christian community, we are called to learn together.

    Believers are called to come together as an evangelistic community.

    Our passage does not specifically tell us that the early church devoted themselves to evangelism, although we may conclude that they did, indeed, share the message of the Good News with those who did not know Christ. What we are told is that they devoted themselves to learning ("to the Apostle’s ...read more

    You don’t find this kind of closeness and support in every church today -- but in the early church, everyone was serious about doing life together, no matter what. How can we develop that in our church? *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Why was this early church SO powerful? It had discovered it could help its members not stop with HAVING faith, but fortifying their faith! What could this focus do for you? *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Let me ask you: Why is the church here? (By ‘the church’, I don’t mean this building, I mean the group of people that makes up the church.)

    My first sermon was certainly no model for Christian preaching. However, Peter’s first sermon presents a model that should characterize all Christian preaching today. Notice the elements in the first Christian sermon. There was explanation, exposition,

    THE FIRST CHRISTIAN SERMON Acts 2:14-47 I remember my very first sermon. It was on Easter Sunday evening in 1961. For some years I had been wrestling with the call to preach the gospel. During the closing service of a revival meeting at Riverside Baptist Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi, I ...read more

    In the old west they had a saying, wanted dead or alive, Jesus says the same thing in the book of Revelation!

    Wanted: Dead or Alive! Revelation Revelation 3, Acts 2:42 - 47 As we look in the Book of Revelation we find that God would rather a church be dead or alive, than lukewarm. I believe that gives you and I a choice! Do we want to strive to be alive, or do we want to wither away and die, given that ...read more

    God’s template for church gatherings is straightforward. Let’s look at four focuses that describe what a church should accomplish internally, though not always all at once, but through its overall ministry.

    Church 101 (Acts 2:40-47) 1. Sometimes people do not like to think too much: A fellow stopped at a gas station and, after filling the tank on his car, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink.

    The Jerusalem church grew daily because there was such a contagious spirit among Christians that drawn others to it. The church today can also follow the example of the early church and become a contagious church.
