Church All Out
I Didn't Know Church Could Be This Way!
Acts 2
“…upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.”

When Jesus Builds His Church …
1. His Church is: Spiritually Alive
- Wind/Fire – symbolizes God
- Acts 2:4 - “And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.”
2. His Church is: Biblically Serious
- Jeremiah 17:9 : “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?”
- See Acts 2:16-18, 25-28
- Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”
- Acts 2:37: “Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what should we do?’”
3. His Church is: Community Blessing
- See Acts 2:41-47
- Acts 4:34: “There were no needy people among them…”
Final thought: Be all in, so we can Go all out!
