The Church What Shall We Do?

The Identity of the Church We are a community of diverse people and gifts, broken and weak on our own, yet appointed as royal priests and prophets, each directly instructed by the word, lead by the spirit, under Christ, a new creation, a sign of Christ, to the world, for the glory of God.

Acts 2:37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:39-41 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

The Early Church was Devoted to The Apostle's teaching (learning the Bible) Fellowship (sharing, eating together) Breaking bread (communion) Prayer

Acts 2:43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.

Acts 2:44-45 All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

The Function of the Church The church functions by exercising the diverse gifts, resources, and perspectives to mutually mature and bring each other to encounter, know, and obey Christ, which then leads to bringing hope and blessing to world, glorifying God.

Acts 2:46-47 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.
