First Baptist Arlington: We are Changing!
Acts 2:42-47
FALL 2023: THE CHURCH: Why Does It Matter?
The Church is a purposeful community of gathered believers following The Jesus Way together.
Psalm 1 Tree – Purpose, Transformation, Influence
Becoming fruitful believers, influencing our world for Christ.
ENRICHMENT: Becoming fruitful believers
DEVOTION: The early church was “all in” – these believers were steadfastly devoted to this new life in Christ. So are we!
SPIRITUAL FORMATION: The early believers were devoted to the authoritative teaching of the Apostles. So are we!
As He moves about He leaves behind him a trail of transformed scenes and changed situations—fishermen no longer at their nets, sick people restored to health, critics confounded, a storm stilled, hunger assuaged, a dead girl raised to life. Jesus’ presence is an active and instantly transforming presence: He is never the mere observe of the scene or the one who waits upon events but always the transformer of the scene and the initiator of events.
-V. H. Vanstone, The Stature of Waiting
As followers of Jesus, we are being formed, conformed, and transformed along The Jesus Way!
