GREATER TOGETHER!

UNLEASHING THE PEOPLE

OF GOD FOR

THE PURPOSE

OF GOD

In Acts 2:42-47 we find very descriptive words about the Church soon after it's birth...

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47 NIV)

So much could be said about the early Church based on these verses! One word that is prominent (it is used 3 times in this passage) is the word TOGETHER. And that word is a key to much of the early churches effectiveness!

We know they had the power of the Holy Spirit...

We know they lived sacrificial lives...

We know they were devoted to God and each other...

We know they valued prayer, God's Word and serving...

But much of what God did through them came from the powerful fact that they did these things TOGETHER! They were an irresistible environment! People wanted to be a part of what was happening among these fledgling followers of Jesus! And so we see that "...the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." WOW!

If it happened then...it can happen now!

WE ARE GREATER TOGETHER!
