SPEAKER Steve Chai (New Hope)
Why We Are Here Acts 2:42
“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
We are a community that sharpens each other FOR THE LORD.
Peter’s exhortation to the believers who were baptized during Pentecost: “For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself (39).”
After the blessing, the community knew they could not be stagnant, and continually devoted themselves to the Lord with a day-to-day new commitment.
4 Things to Devote Ourselves to:
1. Apostles’ Teaching: In a world of no Truth and hope, we find those elements in Scripture.
2. Fellowship: More than saying, “Hi.” Fellowship is the coming together of saints to build each other for Christ’s kingdom. We are meant to do this Christian life together.
3. Breaking of Bread: It is a reminder that Jesus is coming back, which serves as the power of the Gospel. Life in the church is fueled by that fact.
4. Prayer: Prayer is the best way to show love.
CCM understands what you’re going through, so we seek a portrait community as above.
Acts 2:43-47 describes how a church can grow through praising God and fellowship with gladness and sincerity at heart (by having a single focus on Jesus Christ)
