6. Signs and Wonders – Miracles

The Church in Acts had faith and power, and they expected

miracles.

Acts 2:43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders

and signs were done through the apostles.

7. Walks in Favour

Acts 2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people.

And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being

saved.

8. A Loving Church that Cares For one Another

Caring for each other is one of the greatest commands of the

New Testament. In the Acts, evidence of the believers caring for

each other is found in their willingness to sell their possessions and

give to those in need. If we desire to be the Church Christ desires

us to be, then we must care for each other.

Acts 2:44-45 Now all who believed were together, and had all

things in common, and sold their possessions and goods,

and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

When functioning properly, the Church of Jesus Christ is the hope

of the world. It is the vehicle that the Lord uses to establish His

kingdom, to heal broken lives, pointing people to God the father,

and fulfilling the deepest longings of our souls. It is in the Church

that the rejected find acceptance, that sinners receive forgiveness

and the lonely experience love, care and family.

1. It is in the Church that we discover and live out our true lifepurpose.

To worship God

2. It is in the Church that we receive teaching and training for how

we can be the people that God has called us to be. Discipleship

3. When the Church of Jesus Christ is functioning properly, each

member is using his or her God-given gifts and talents and abilities

to serve one another and the world beyond. Ministry
