Cornerstone Community Church
Week 5
Speaker: Pastor Nate Herrlin
CHURCH as God intended…
“DEVOTED”
Acts 2:41-47 NIV
“I am currently most devoted to ____________________________.”
The early church was devoted to:
1. The apostles’ teaching
The early church was devoted to:
2. The Fellowship
This is NOT socialism.
1. It’s not controlled by the government.
2. It’s 100% VOLUNTARY.
3. People still owned things.
This is NOT socialism.
It’s generosity.
The early church was devoted to:
3. The Breaking of bread
The early church was devoted to:
4. Prayer
CHURCH as God intended:
- A people devoted to God & each other
- Learning more day by day
- Experiencing the presence & power of God
- Practicing radical generosity because they are family
- Gladly doing life together
- With an open door, ready to welcome the next new family members
IMMERSE yourself in practical Bible teaching, both publicly and privately.
FUSE with other believers and pursue application of truth together.
RADIATE God’s love by serving others and sharing your story with them.
My NEXT STEP with God, THIS WEEK is to…
…rethink the things I am devoted to. (If you’re going to increase your
devotion in one area, something will probably have to give in another.)
…recommit myself to Cornerstone’s strategy for growing healthy
Christians: Immerse, Fuse, Radiate. (Does one of these 3 need more focus for me right now?)
…ask God who at Cornerstone He might want me to pursue a more
meaningful friendship with (and if the Holy Spirit nudges me toward
someone, to act on it).
…participate in the home group book study, “Letters to the Church” by Francis Chan as a companion study to the sermon series. (read chap 5)
