We are the Church

 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Reverential awe came over everyone, and many wonders and miraculous signs came about by the apostles. All who believed were together and held everything in common, and they began selling their property and possessions and distributing the proceeds to everyone, as anyone had need. Every day they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, breaking bread from house to house, sharing their food with glad and humble hearts, praising God and having the good will of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day those who were being saved.

Acts 2:42-47

On Sunday, we talked about how the church began: (from Acts 1-2)

• People were confused.
• They listened.
• They were “pierced to the heart”.
• They asked questions.
• They repented and were baptized.
• They continued to learn.
• They broke bread together.
• They prayed.
• They shared with one another and met the needs of everyone.
• They listened, learned, broke bread together, and prayed some more.

We can do that. We can be the church. We can listen, ask questions, repent, share bread together, pray, praise God, share with those in need, and do it all again. To hear more from Sunday’s service click here:
