This Is Us.The Church is the people of God called out of slavery to freedom, sin to salvation, despair to hope, darkness to light, an existence centered on death to an existence focused on life. When we think of Church we have to think of a body of people, traveling together, doing life together . We have to envision women, men, & children of all ages, races, & societies supporting one another on their long & often tiresome journeys to their final home.— Henri NouwenActs 2 : 42 . 47 • The Believers Form a CommunityAll the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, & to fellowship, & to sharing in meals —including the Lord’s Supper, & to prayer.A deep sense of awe came over them all, & the apostles performed many miraculous signs & wonders. And all the believers met together in one place & shared everything they had. They sold their property & possessions & shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, & shared their meals with great joy & generosity — all the while praising God & enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.#wethechurch #thisisus #familysaturdays #lovingoneanother #eachdaytheLordaddedtothemthosewhowerebeingsaved #vineyardfullerton -- source link
