Acts 1: 4-11Jesus Gives the “Great Mission”
He Promises The Holy Spirit will come to aid in it.
Returns to Heaven
What Does AGospel-Centered
ChurchLook Like?
Distinctive #1:Preaching and
Teaching of the Gospel isTHE Priority.
We faithfully tell The Story of Jesus
at all times.
Distinctive #2:The Emphasis
of our Message is More on What
God Has Done Than on What We Are To Do.
All of our secondary
teachings flow out from The Gospel.
They don’t eclipse it.
Distinctive #3:Church Members
Demonstrate the Beauty of
The Gospel in the Community.
“God’s Demonstration Community”
Many of these “Signs” were just the
“church being the church,” displaying
God’s Kingdom in tangible ways.
* Acts 2: 42-47
What “Signs” Helped
Demonstrate The Beauty
of The Gospel in the
Early Church?
“Sign” #1:
Love & Unityin the Church
“Sign” #2:
Generosity with Money
and Possessions
“Sign” #3:
Joy in the Midst of Difficulty
and Persecution
“Sign” #4:
Miraculous Answers to Prayer
These “Signs” Are Meant
to Accentuate The Gospel,
NOT to Replace its Message.
Acts 8: 4-8Philip’s Preaching of Gospel & Signs
Acts 9: 36-42“Tragic” Death
and Raising of Tabitha
If Our Church “Died” Tomorrow
and Closed Its Doors,
Would Our Community
Mourn That Loss?
