“The Life We Were Meant to Live”
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. …And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. …And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:4; 42-44; 47)
A Spirit-Filled and Empowered Church (v. 4; 43)
-Manifest presence of the Holy Spirit in our local gathering – in corporate worship, the preaching of the Word, and the fellowship of the church
-Empowerment of the Spirit in our daily witness
-Fruit of the Spirit that demonstrates that we are a joyful, set apart church
-Gifts of the Spirit that edify, equip, and serve our church
A Praying, Fellowshipping, and Discipling Church (v. 42)
-Church to be characterized by a mission-minded prayer life
-Lives that testify to the importance of the gathering and fellowship of the church
-An atmosphere of discipling and being disciple – being trained in the Gospel while training others
