4 Pillars of being Better Together

·        4 Pillars of being Better Together

·        Acts 2:42-47 / Hebrews 10:23-25

§  Devotion defined – love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for person, activity, or cause.

§  The Early Church was devoted to “the apostles teaching.” They were devoted to God’s word, to right teaching or doctrine, to being taught, to growing, to maturing, and to being led by the Apostles.

§  Being devoted to “the fellowship’ means being devoted to community, to life together, to loving, supporting, and encouraging one another as the people of God, as the family of God.

§  The early Church was devoted to “the breaking of bread and prayers.” While “breaking bread” might have included regular meal together.

§  That means “the breaking of bread” is more importantly a reference to the Lord’s Table, which was celebrated as part of a large community meal. So, this area of devotion focused on things like gathering together regularly, observing the Lord’s supper, worshiping together, singing, giving thanks, prayer.

§  It’s a legacy of Day of Pentecost.

§  Foundation of early Church è They devoted to prayer, fellowship, and teaching.

§  It was a course of action.

§  Because of fellowship, they could face anything.

§  It’s a care of one another.

§  When god moves, hearts will be touch, life will be changed.

§  Science and wonders will follow you.
