The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Acts 2:1-47
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of his word.
Read the passage.

Being the New Testament Church
o
One of the marks of the church we
read of in Acts was their devotion to the teaching of the Apostles. How often do you study the word of God? Do you take advantage of the opportunities
provided to study the word with others?
o
Another mark was the celebrating of
communion together. Do you regular
gather with your church family to remember Jesus?
o
The church was a family. No one suffered alone, or went without what
they needed. How do you help the church
meet the needs of others? Are you
willing to rely on the church to help you during difficult times?
o
The early church was devoted to
prayer, both as individuals, and collectively.
The continued to meet in the temple during the day for set hours of prayer. Do you take prayer seriously? Do you schedule, or set aside time for
prayer?
Pray that we may be the church not
just on Sunday, but every day.
Pray that our community may see in
us the same joy, the same love, the same fellowship, that it saw in those early
Christians.
