The Radical Church: The purpose of the Church is to do not only what Jesus did, but what He would do if He lived among us today. We are to be witnesses for Christ — walking billboards — transforming a lost world from darkness to light.
In One Accord: What kept the early church together? Two things: unity and prayer. Through a united and praying church, God can do amazing things. Therefore, let us never stop meeting and praying together.
The Holy Spirit: On that amazing day of Pentecost, the promised Holy Spirit filled Jerusalem and 3,000 people gave their lives to Christ. The greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit in someone’s life is a bold witness for Christ.
The Committed Church: Today’s church should emulate the first century church in its four-way commitment to: the Apostles’ teachings, sharing life together, caring for one another and prayer. When the church is committed in such a way, God shows up!
“Get Up and Walk!” In Acts 3, Peter and John healed a lame man with the words “Get Up and Walk!” That miracle pointed people’s attention to Jesus. Today, Jesus still asks the church to “Get Up and Walk.” By doing so, we show the world that Jesus is still the author of miracles and the only One who can bring salvation.
Membership Matters: There is hesitancy these days to become “joiners.” But when you join a local church — as the Bible instructs believers — you become part of a common cause, which is to tell the world about Christ, and become part of a family believers who are committed to one another.
A Giving Church: One of the reasons the early church was successful was because they considered nothing they owned as belonging to them, but to God. Therefore, they gave freely for the good of the body. May today’s churches be those that give generously of their funds, possessions and spiritual gifts.
Filled With Jesus: What are you filled with? In other words, in the very worst of times, what will people see in you? Stephen, the Church’s first martyr, was filled with Christ from head to toe. Even at his death, he was professing and looking toward Jesus. May we be found to be filled with Jesus every day of our lives!
