"The Church As It Should Be"

What kind of church are you looking to be a part of? This is important, for your relationship with God, for your family, and perhaps even for the whole world. Usually just like the one you came from. That’s natural because it’s what you’re used to and what you’re used to is comfortable for you. But comfort should not be the criteria that determines the church you need to be in. I want to suggest another criteria – the church in Acts chapter two, the one God gave us to be the model of what a church should be.

You’re probably not going to find a perfect church, one that fully measures up to the church. in Acts 2. But the closer the better. And it has nothing to do with the kind of building the church meets in, or the style of music, or ethnic group. (It should be a church where all ethnic people are welcomed and loved.) It’s really what goes on there and what kind of spiritual people are there.

In Acts 2 we have The Model Church, after which all churches should be modeled. Note three things:

1. The Promised Sign of Pentecost (Fulness of the Spirit, which speaks of spiritual gifts), v.1-13

2. The Powerful Sermon of Peter (Preached the Bible and the Gospel) v.14-40  

3. The Phenomenal Salvation of People, v.41-47
