Revival Centre Sunday morning Mr. Nello Romagnoli played his guitar as he and Miss Wendy Robertson sang In His Hands. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Acts 2:42-47, a summery of the New Testa- ment church. Today thereare no two churches the same, because the people are all uni- quely different. Because all study the same Bible, there are also similarities. There are characteristics listed in the New Testament church that should be in our churches today. First in verse 42 is a learning church of the _-teaehing.°U . The fastest growing churches are teachable churches. Next the New Testament church was a worshipping one. Third it was a Christ centered church. They had frequent celebra- tions of the Lord's Supper as they met in homes of believers. Also they were continually , devoting themselves to cor- porate prayer. The church will not advance without spending time in prayer. In verse 43 it was a church with reverence before God. When people walk in to a reverent church, they know God's presence is there, sixth aspect is that the New Testa- ment church was a miracle working church. Rev. Roger Mason read Joshua 9:3-15, the story of the Gideonites deceiving Joshua and Israel. Israel had just conquered two major cities in Canaan. The coalition of Gi- deon decided the only way to survive was to pretend they came from a far country seeking protection. Sunday.
