In my church we have started the 30 Day Church Challenge. Every one of the challenges will be related to
one of the five purposes of the church. According to the first church found in Acts chapter 2:
The Five Purposes of the Church are to ...
a. Cultivate authentic community. b. Experience
worship as part of your daily lifestyle. c. Take successive steps of spiritual
growth. d. Practice personal stewardship. e. Reach out to the world around us.
The first is cultivating authentic
community.
Acts 2:42 says, “They devoted themselves
to the fellowship.”
Verse 44 says, “They held everything in
common.”
Verse 46 says, “They broke bread together
in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”
In other words they were all about authentic community
and unity. Remember that the church isn’t a building you go
to, it’s a family you belong to.
Be wise today and always - belong to the community of Christ.
