THE MODEL FOR OUR
CHURCH
“DAILY they continued to meet together and worshiped together in the temple courts. They
also fellowshipped together in their homes with communion and eating
together, sharing whatever they had with joyful and generous
hearts. They praised God together and [as a result] the whole
city liked them so every day more and more people were being saved,
and DAILY the Lord added to the number of believers in the church.” Acts
2:46-47 (NIV/NLT/CEV)
