What does it mean to truly build a church that reflects God’s mission and purpose? In this sermon based on Acts 2:42-47, we uncover timeless principles from the early church that are just as relevant today as they were over two thousand years ago. This passage provides a powerful blueprint for creating a Christ-centered community rooted in love, unity, and service.
The early church was devoted to five core purposes: discipleship, community, worship, ministry, and evangelism. Together, these principles served as the foundation for building a thriving church that grew in faith and favor with God and people. In this message, you’ll discover how these same practices can shape your life and your church today.
