Being part of a local church

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew What is our authority? 2. What is our purpose? 3. Who is with us?

Being part of a local church 41 Those who accepted his message were baptised, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 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, 47 praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:41-47 What did people do in church? (v.42) What was happening to the church? (vv.41,43, 47) How did people relate to each other? (vv.44,45) Where did they meet (v46) How did they feel? (v46)

Being part of a local church 11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. Ephesians 4 What is the job of a leader? Why do we do works of service? What is the outcome? What change happens in our lives? How will we communicate with each other?

Being part of a local church

Where do I begin? Priority: Determine what my priorities are going to be, decide in my heart that my ministry as a Christian is of central importance. Prayer: Ask God in prayer to guide and show me what I need to be doing. Personality: Think about areas of ministry where I could fit in. Practice: Keep trying different things and getting trained until I find the right place.
