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.
