Getting Some Action

This is not a spectator sport.

It needs your participation, involvement, and action.

What am I talking about?

Church.

From its start, it was characterized by action.

On the day the church began, Peter preached a sermon to a crowd that had gathered.

At the end of his sermon, the people responded, “What should we do?” (Acts 2.37)

What should we DO?

They were ready for action.

The next few verses describe what they did…

They BELIEVED (vs 41)

They were BAPTIZED (vs 41)

They were ADDED to the church (vs 41)

They DEVOTED themselves to the church and its cause (vs 42)

They GAVE generously, sacrificially (vs 44, 45)

They WORSHIPED together (vs 46)

They MET together regularly at church and in homes (vs 46)

They PRAISED God (vs 47)

They ENJOYED having a good reputation in their community (vs 47)

They GREW in numbers (vs 47)

When you read that list, it’s obvious the church got some serious action from that first group of believers.

Is your church getting some action from you?
