Throughout this sermon series we are looking parts of God’s Word that involve the church. We’re talking about why we need the church, what the church is, what the purpose of church is, and common ways that the church gets off track. Today, we’re looking at what the first church looked like. By taking a look at what the first church looked like, we can learn what it means to be a part of the church today:
Being a part of the church means:
1. Being wholeheartedly committed
Acts 2:42, Rom. 16:17, Eph. 4:16, 1 Cor. 1:10, John 17:11
2. Being intentionally relational
Acts 2:44, 46, Heb. 10:24-25, Eph. 4:32, Col. 3:12-15
3. Being financially invested
Acts 2:45, 2 Cor. 9:6-8, Prov. 3:9, Acts 20:35
