Is your church GROWING or is it STAGNANT???? Acts 2:42-47

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
   Please pray for the people of Oklahoma, Tulsa, Moore and surrounding communities as they were hit by a tornado.  Take just 30 seconds to pray and your prayer will be heard.  Thank you.
   Ever encounter someone who has a different twist on believing.  I encountered a young man who said he believed in God, but also believed there were different routes one could take to God.  I told him the Bible says only one way, to know and accept Jesus Christ in your heart.  He responded that was the way he was taught growing up, but believed differently now.  Hmmm!
  Where did we, as Christians, miss the mark?  Or did we?  The first Christians used to go to the synagogues and Temples for worship and instruction in the scriptures.  However, their belief in Jesus as the Messiah created friction with Jews who did not believe in Jesus.  So what happened?
   They ended up meeting in homes for prayer, communion, and teaching about Christ.  Many of these people were excommunicated from the church because of their belief.  If you will look at Acts 2:42-47 it talks about the first church:
      42) they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers; (staying in fellowship with one another)
      43)And fear (awe) came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles (miracles);
      44) And all that believed were together, and had all things common (there were in one accord, all believing the same);
      45) And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (they sold all they had and helped others with what they could); 
      46) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, (the first Christians met daily, believing the same, ate, and fellowshipped with each other--ALL BELIEVING THE SAME!  AND they were happy.
      47) Praising God, and having favour with all the people.  And the LORD added to the church daily such as should be saved.  (When people saw their zeal for worship and brotherly love it was as a contagious virus, running throughout, and others desired to be a part of what they had.
     A healthy, loving church will grow in numbers.  Is your church growing or is it stagnant?  Again, verse 47 says---and the LORD added to the church daily----will others feel your zeal, your commitment to Jesus, to God?  My pray for you and me is that others will, as the first Christians showed, others will want to have what we have- Jesus Christ!  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
