A Church That Rocks
Matthew 16:13-19 NLT 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”c 14“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” 15Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” 16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 18Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. 19And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Acts 2:42-47 GROW… GIVE… GROUP... Rocks That Grow “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles” Acts 2:42, 43 Rocks That Give “And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.” Acts 2:44, 45 1. Avoiding The Subject ~ 2. Regular Contributors ~ 3. Trying To Tithe ~ 4. New Nervous Tithers ~ 5. Long Term Tithers Rocks That Group “Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 2:46, 47 Church Isn’t Supposed To Be Something We Attend... It Is Something We Are. It’s Good That We Come Together As The Church, But It’s So Much Better When We Move Together As The Church.
