    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 10,233 views

Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

    As we study this snapshot of the early church life, a pattern emerges: they focused on gathering, on the Gospel, on goodwill and on glorifying God. Because the early church maintained this four-fold focus along their journey, God continually added to their number those who were being saved.
