Being the Church #30

We have already been in Acts 2 a couple of times looking at particular aspects of being the Church. But today, we step back to get a fuller view and ask some serious questions.
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Let's get right to the questions: Are we doing these things together? Are you doing these things with other believers? They devoted themselves to them? Are we truly devoted, not only to doing them, but doing them right? If you gather with other believers regularly, do you open your Bible and read along? Do you spend time with them, or dart into and out of services and meetings? Do you really think about what you are doing during communion?  When someone in the service prays, are you really in tune and agreement? Has being a part of the body of Christ affected your financial lifestyle? Are you aware of and responsive to the needs of others?  Are these people a part of your daily life, not just your weekly life? Are you really the Church?
