A Biblical Model for Church Growth

Apr 27, 2025    Blake Harcup

In this powerful message, we're invited to reflect on the birth of the early church as described in Acts 2. The story of Pentecost reminds us of the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of responding to God's call. We see how Peter's bold proclamation of Jesus as Lord and Messiah led to the conversion of thousands. This challenges us to consider: Who is Jesus to us? Are we willing to repent, believe, and be baptized? The early believers' devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer serves as a model for us today. Their Spirit-filled living attracted others to the faith, showing us that our lives can be a powerful testimony. As we contemplate making more room in our hearts and communities for God's work, let's be inspired by the early church's example of radical generosity, community, and commitment to the Gospel.
