3 Lessons from the Early Church
LESSON #1: They did the BIG and SMALL thing.
Acts 2:46 – “[All the believers] followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home…” (MSG)
Romans 12:1 – “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.” (MSG)
LESSON #2: They did it TOGETHER.
Acts 4:32, 34 – “All the believers were of one heart and mind, and they felt that what they owned was not their own; they shared everything they had… There was no poverty among them, because people who owned land or houses sold them and brought the money to the apostles to give to others in need.”
LESSON #3: They did it in a way that eliminated BARRIERS.
Acts 16:1-3 – “Paul and Silas went back to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a follower named Timothy. His mother was also a follower. She was Jewish, and his father was Greek. The Lord's followers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy, and Paul wanted him to go with them. But Paul first had him circumcised, because all the Jewish people around there knew that Timothy's father was Greek.”
Acts 16:5 – “And so, the churches were strengthened in their faith and grew daily in numbers.”
