The Good Shepherd
Acts
"The church was unified (), magnified (), and multiplied ().
It had a powerful testimony among the unsaved Jews, not only because of the miracles done by the Apostles (), but also because of the way the members of the fellowship loved each other and served the Lord.
The risen Lord continued to work with them () and people continued to be saved.
What a church!
The Christians you meet in the Book of Acts were not content to meet once a week for “services as usual.”
They met daily (), cared daily (), won souls daily (), searched the Scriptures daily (), and increased in number daily ().
"
----
From the beginning the early church was devoted to hearing, studying, and learning what the apostles had to teach.
"There is nothing more unchristian than a solitary Christian."
John Wesley
The fellowship (koinonia) means common
As we do the work of the church, one thing began to crystallize in my mind.
The more work you do for the Lord, the more you want to do for the Lord.
The more you give the more you want to give, the more time you spend in God's Holy Word, the more you want to study, learn, listen, and read.
The more you work on kingdom building, the more you want to do.
JOY IN THE BOOK OF ACTS
Wherever the gospel message went, it brought joy to those who believed.
