 What could church look like in London in the 21st Century?
Acts 2:42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (NIV)
This New Testament church was passionate, we aim to be passionate about the same things:
- teaching and learning (engaging with the Bible)
- witnessing miracles (the supernatural, signs and wonders, spiritual gifts)
- true community (over and against individualism)
- remaining in Christ (living lives of worship to Jesus)
- fullness (growing individually and corporately into everything God has for us, see Eph 4:13)
