Pure Doctrine

Organic Church March 1, 2009 Pure Doctrine Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.           The remaining description of the early church given in Acts 2 beginning with verse 42 is distinct from the first two purity aspects of an Organic Church we have studied in the past two weeks. A pure Gospel and pure identity directly refer to the crowd's response to Peter's message on the Day of Pentecost. Yet the following five purity aspects of an Organic Church give an insider's glimpse of the weekly habits of the early church. Certainly Luke records these details for propaganda purposes. He not only intends generations of Christians to read his historical account of the early church, but also to replicate in their own meetings the four elements found in Acts 2:42. This Sunday we will address our relationship to the Apostles' teaching, our mandate for Christian fellowship, our remembrance of the Lord's Supper, and our need for corporate prayer. That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,            and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 2 Peter 3:2 What is an Organic Church? An organic church is a church unhindered by novelties and tradition, and intentional about the glory of God, the promotion of the Gospel and the maturity of believers.
