NEW MORNING WORSHIP SERIES TO BEGIN JULY 4th.
A New Focus: A Kingdom Focused Church
Acts 2:42-47 (NLT2) “All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.  And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity, all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

The church of the 21st Century is vastly different from the Acts 2 Church. I look at many of the mega churches today and they have complicated “community” with bigger and better programs. What’s the point? Have we moved from reaching the lost and disciplining them, to smoke and mirrors and music concerts? I feel that we have moved away from the Acts 2 Church and in so doing have lost our focus.
My goal for our next series “The Kingdom Focused Church” is to change our focus and begin to look outward rather than inward. Please pray with me that God will use these messages to change our focus.
    1. A Kingdom Focused Church is Simple
    2. Embracing a Kingdom Focused Church
    3. The Power of a Kingdom Focused Church
    4. Experiencing a Kingdom Focused Church
