!!! Have you ever had a life changing experience that altered everything in your life and changed the priorities of your life forever?
!
WHAT WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITES OF THE EARLY CHURCH?
Acts 2:42
!! They continued steadfastly (gave constant attention to, continually devoted themselves to):
!!!
The Apostles’ Teaching:
They were giving constant attention to learning the principles of God’s Word.
This was an evidence of their true conversion
* They were hungry for God’s Word
* They wanted to know everything about their Savior
* They wanted to know how to serve their Lord
* Are you hungry for God’s Word? Do you crave it?
(1 Peter 2:2)
* Is God’s Word important to you?
* Do you have an overwhelming desire to learn about your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
!!! Fellowship:
Participating together in things we share in common.
This is the Greek “koinonia” and can refer to several things here:
* Participating in ministry together
* Worshiping together
* Sharing their material possessions (3000 / 120 = 25)
* Sharing the Lord’s Supper together – Remembering his sacrifice together
* Sharing a common faith – believing the same things
* Sharing a common hope of heaven
* Sharing common joys
* Sharing common enemies
* Sharing an attitude of righteousness
* They used all of these common things to strengthen and encourage each other.
(Heb 10:25)
!!! Breaking of Bread:
Although this could refer to the Lord’s Supper, it appears in context to refer to a common meal (Acts 2:46).
* They broke bread together in their homes.
* Breaking bread together is a sign of closeness and intimacy, a sign of agape love.
* You usually don’t invite strangers into your home to eat.
This a place normally reserved for family.
We are family.
* They gave constant attention to breaking bread together because it brought them closer together in friendship and unity
* The result of breaking bread together was gladness (joy, happiness) and simplicity of heart ( they were content)
!!! Prayer:
Communication with God the Father
* They directed their praise, worship, thanksgiving, needs, and desires to God
* Jesus said "Until now you have asked nothing in My name.
Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
(John 16:24).
* Paul said “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;” (Eph 6:18).
* James said “You lust and do not have.
You murder and covet and cannot obtain.
You fight and war.
Yet you do not have because you do not ask.”
(James 4:2).
