I recently read this quote: “The Church is not dependent on the Building. The Church is dependent on People.” I have always believed in the New Testament Church Model in Acts 2:46-47: (vs. 46) “Every day they continued to meet together in the Temple Courts. (Church Celebration), they broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, (Small Home Groups, Discipleship), and in vs. 47 – Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added daily those who were being saved (Outreach).”
Gods’ model for a modern-day Church: Love God, Love People and Serve the World; is encompassed in those two verses.
