Today I want to remind us why the church exists and how God designed it to function. God wants the church to grow, and He wants us to grow. He wants to use us to help other churches grow. His plan has always been to use the local church to reach the world for Christ. Our ministry together is not limited to one location; God has placed us here to impact the entire world. As we study the Book of Acts, we see that the early church was united, undivided, and completely centered on Jesus. They were hungry for the Word of God, devoted to fellowship, committed to prayer, and fully engaged in God’s mission. Let’s continue to study Acts 2 together so we can learn how to be like the early church.
