A Blueprint for Church Growth


"Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved."
Acts 2:46-47

What a wonderful model the church in Acts is for us. The believers were of one mind, meeting together not just in the temple, but in their homes too. They ate together and from the text we gather the atmosphere was joyous, and their love for God and each other was authentic. This was a group of Christians who put their faith into action. They lived intentionally and it showed. They impacted their community and the church grew. God has given us this blueprint for church growth. If we follow this example, He will add to our numbers.
