“The Church’s Blueprint”
Acts 2:40-47
Sermon Series: “The Church”
Introduction: Acts 2:40-47 is a summary statement of the growth and progress of the new church. I believe it serves as an inspired blueprint for how a church is to function. This is a picture of a healthy, Spirit-filled, God-honoring, and powerful church so it is a blueprint we are to strive to follow as a church. We are planning on spending two weeks studying this blueprint and seeking to apply it to True Life. Here is the blueprint of a healthy church:
1. Prayer
2. Evangelism
3. Discipleship
4. Fellowship
A. Relationships
B. Unity
C. Ministry
D. Generosity
E. Joy
5. Worship
Conclusion: Remember that the church is people so each of us make up the church. If our church is going to function according to this blueprint, each of us must follow this personally. So, are you praying? Are you evangelizing? Are you growing as a disciple and helping others become disciples? Are you fellowshipping with other believers? Are you genuinely worshipping the Lord?
