SERMON OUTLINE

FCF - Straying from God’s divine design for the church causes dysfunction rather than growth.

Big Idea - God’s design for growing his church is through gospel community.

God's design is gospel community that is...

1) Devoted to God's Word and works. (43)


2) Devoted to sharing our lives and resources. (44-45)


3) Devoted to breaking bread in Communion and everyday meals. (46)


4) Devoted to prayer and worship. (47a

God is at work in his church:

1.   God meets our needs. (43)   

2.   God knits us together. (44-45)   

3.   God puts joy inside. (46)   

4.   God grows His church. (47))
