We have no doubt about the importance of the bible.We talk about the quality of spiritual community , which our house of God this time. In generally speaking, about family , family is made up of different family members and being to perform roles and functions. That’s same in God's family (church).
We can see from Acts 2 that the fear of God and the servants of God and strong cohesion and draws people into salvation and God. The family needs you and me for working together with God.
Fear of God and the servants of God
"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles." (Acts 2:42-43)
The believers of first century are divinely empowered to pay attention and concern everywhere, they kept the apostle’s teaching in mind and concerned a lot. Therefore, we appreciate some Sunrise brothers and sisters write down the key points of the services message and share it in cell groups and outsiders. The first generation of believers established relationship with God in the fellowship.We all can practice and participate on October 1 Hong Kong Day of Prayer 2022, thought leaders talk about the reason for advancing, try to understand more and start up the 40 days fasting and be part of organizing and gather others you know.
Strong Cohesion
" All the believers were together and had everything in common." (Acts 2:44).
The believers of first century did not stop meeting. They were not only worshiped in the temple (v. 46) but also often gathered in one place, sharing all things in common, and sold their land and property, and distributed them to everyone according to their needs. They shared frankly and selflessly and are willing to raise up and help each other which reflects a strong cohesion that connects the entire group. From another perspective, the work of edifying believers not only falls on leaders and pastors, but also on believers. It turns out that we can educate the members around us to know God better through sharing testimonies, helping, intercession prayers and cultivating people, we can have a deeper understanding of God, hallelujah!
Attract people into salvation
" Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." (Acts 2:47).
The quality of the house of God (Church) cooperates with the Lord's opening of the door and fulfills the harvest of the gospel. Acts 2 shows the believers wonderful fellowship, exercised what the Bible says, made faith in life, so that all people can see the difference in people of God and have a unique atmosphere that attracts people to enter the realm of salvation. Thank you God for open-hearted newcomers among us recently, may Sunrise become more spiritually attractive house of God for satisfying the heart of God, Amen!
