I. COMMITMENT TO THE APOSTLES’ DOCTRINE
- Teaching builds the church
- Teaching defines character, behavior & results
- Teaching has an eternal goal
PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD IS THE MEANING OF DEVOTION TO THE TEACHING OF THE APOSTLES.
II. COMMITMENT TO FELLOWSHIP
NOTE:
Fellowship is not just an event that takes place within time and space. Fellowship includes sacrificial, self-giving of ourselves and
our resources to ensure that we provide for the total growth of one another as we face life together in the house of God.
III. COMMITMENT TO THE BREAKING OF BREAD
NOTE:
The exercise places your mind straight away within the centre of Redemptive history and privileges that Jesus gives to us through the redemption that he wrought by his blood.
NOTE: Life’s major deals are finalized at the table. Come to the Lord’s Table and finalize the issues of your life with him there!
IV. COMMITMENT TO PRAYER
- Acts 1:12-14
- Acts 2:1ff
- Acts 4:24
- Acts 12:5
Prayer is one of the most awesome ways given to us by God to connect the needs of humanity to the incredible power of Divinity.
Prayer is one of the God-given ways to have fellowship with God, who is both in us and yet above us.
When we pray as a church, it is the whole body of Christ as represented by this local assembly that prays.
It evokes a corporate invocation of God’s power on his body. God hears the agreement of heart and soul and responds speedily.
The basis of ALL Christian unity of heart and soul is found in receiving and believing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Good
