Church 2.42

Church 2.42
The birth of the Church begins in the Book of Acts chapter 2 verses 42-47

"They (the Early Church) 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.

Verese 42 outlines four areas that the early church was devoted to that culminated with a mighty move of God of those being saved. I call these four areas the Core Values of Church 2.42.

A passionate hearted disciple holds these four values:
1. Fellowship (Hanging together)
2. Breaking of Bread (Eating together)
3. Apostles Teaching (Learning together in God's Word)
4. Prayer (Praying together)This can remembered with acronym

H.E.L.P.Hang...Eat...Learn...PrayThe early church committed to H.E.L.P.And the Lord added to their number daily those who were saved!
