Sunday School 1/2/2011 Book of Acts
Dear Saints,
Hope your week is going great! In preparation for our lesson this week I would like for you to do some biblical research on the following, based on Acts 2:43 – 47. Research the following words, ideas, meanings of: Fellowship, Prayer, having all things in Common, Praising God, Having Favor with all men.
Question: What does scripture have to say about these practices in the Church and should we be, or are we, still following them now?
Question: How have we lost the simplicity of church life as compared to the early church? What things are we doing today that are different, in a negative way, from what was originally done?
Fellowship Group January 2011
We will be having a Church-wide fellowship group meeting in January at the church. Our group is responsible for bringing 6 2lb bags of salad and dressing, bbq chicken to feed 150 people and will be responsible for cleanup. Elder Smith asked that we bring $10 per person and we voted that it would be preferable for one person to prepare he food. The group will be updated with developments as they occur.
UPDATE:
Don’t forget your $17 ($20 per family was suggested on Sunday due to the fact that we are not sure that all members will participate) and please bring cash.
Please note that Sunday 15th is the 3rd Sunday and will be the last Sunday available where we will all be together to collect moneys for the joint Fellowship Group taking place on the 22nd. Please give your money to Satrina Alleyne.
Sunday School Acts 2:14-36
On 12/19 we discussed Acts 2:14-36. The discussion was led by Elder Smith and we spoke about a few points of Peter's testimony:
1) He used Scripture when defending the truth and in bringing people to Christ
2) He spoke about the work of Christ on the cross
3) He again used the word and spoke of the prophecy of David and how it was Christ he was speaking of not himself
4) He spoke of them killing Christ which brought to light their sin
For next week we will be looking at Acts 2:37-47 and our assignment will be to study the behavior of the early church and contrast it with what we are and should be doing today
Book of Acts (Chp 2) “Growth of the Church”
On 12/12/10 Elder Smith led the fellowship group in a discussion on Acts Chapter 2:5-13. We spoke largely on being a witness with emphasis on Matthew 28:19 & Acts 1:8
For our 12/19 we will do the following:
Read Acts 2:14-41 and come up with how Peter shares the gospel (sequentially) and the results and contrast this with how you share the gospel and the associated results.
December 2010 Fellowship Group
Please note that there will be no Fellowship Group meeting for December 2010. We will begin the new year with a church wide Fellowship Group in January 2011. Thank you very much for your fellowship throughout the year and we look forward to growing in Christ together as we meet throughout 2011.
