They Were A Spirit-Filled Church Series

Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013

We have before us today a picture of the model church. You’ve heard me say; “if our church could be any kind of church our church wanted to be what kind of church would our church be?” The answer is found here in Acts 2:42-47.
