BLUEPRINT #3 - PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE

? WHAT’S THE POINT OF IT ALL

Romans 11:36

1 Corinthians 10:31

?

Matthew 28:19-20

THIS INVOLVES MORE THAN ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CALL ON GOD TO HELP IN TIMES OF NEED, BUT TO ENTER INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM WHICH WILL PERMEATE EVERY PART OF ONE'S LIFE, 24-HOURS OF EVERY DAY, MAKING THE DISCIPLE AVAILABLE TO THE PURPOSES OF JESUS CHRIST AND DEPENDENT ON THE RESOURCES OF JESUS CHRIST IN EVERY AREA OF THEIR LIVES.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19

?

LUKE’S SUMMARIES PRESENT AN IDEAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY WHICH IT MUST ALWAYS STRIVE FOR, CONSTANTLY RETURN TO, AND DISCOVER ANEW IF IT IS TO HAVE THAT UNITY OF SPIRIT AND PURPOSE ESSENTIAL FOR AN EFFECTIVE WITNESS.

Acts 2:42-47

Luke 24:53

Acts 2:42-47

1 Corinthians 12:24-26

Acts 4:32

Hebrews 10:25

Acts 2:42-47

Acts 4:32-35

Acts 2:42-47

LUKE GIVES US A GLIMPSE OF THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE FIRST CHRISTIANS. THEY ENJOY A WONDERFUL UNITY, AS THEY LEARN TOGETHER FROM THE APOSTLES AND SHARE THEIR MEALS AND TIMES OF PRAYER. GOD IS WITH THEM! HIS PRESENCE OVERFLOWS IN THE MIRACLES OF THE APOSTLES AND THE LOVE OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS. THE CHURCH GROWS, BECAUSE THIS WAY OF LIFE IS SO GENUINE AND ATTRACTIVE.
