"We Church - Part 2"

Foundation Text: Acts 2:42-47 TPT

Introduction
The church is not an iPhone with fully customizable preferences, it’s not the iChurch or eChurch. The church is a group of people, lots and lots of who come together to know and worship Jesus. It’s not an iChurch, not an eChurch, but a WeChurch. That’s what we see in Acts, it introduces us to the first ever church plant. As we look at it, they’re a community of believers doing life together.

If an iChurch and an eChurch is about “me” and “my” preferences, then a WeChurch is about Christ and His preferences. He’s given us an example of what he’d like to see in Acts. So let’s look at what those are, which tell us how to do life together.

Part 1: We gather around God's Word
