Better Together
“Strength to Sustain You”
Acts 2:1-13

Why does the Church matter?

Church
Followers of Jesus who gather together

You don’t attend church.
You are called to belong to church.

Strength to sustain

Acts 2

Strength to sustain you
We experience God better together 

“I want us to help each other with the faith we have.  Your faith will help; me, and my faith will help you.” - Romans 1:12 NCV

You cannot grow to spiritual maturity by yourself.

“Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more” - Hebrews 10:24-25 GNT

Strength to sustain you
We celebrate the provision of God 

Pentecost = 50th day
Jewish feast in grateful recognition of the harvest

The day of Pentecost becomes the most important day of the Church’s existence, next to the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Wind, Fire, Known languages

Strength to sustain you
We become a powerful visual of hope 

People of Israel, Messiah, Church, Marked by the Spirit, Tell and show others, Christ’s return

Now more than ever, the world needs Followers of Jesus to come together and humbly lead others by the powerful hope we have. 

The local Church gives us boldness to live a life fully devoted to Christ.
