Acts 4:21-33

INTRO: New Beginnings is a GOOD church! Good people, good workers, good teachers, good facilities, good singers, good cooks, if we only had a better preacher, we would really be on our way. New Beginnings is a GOOD church. We are friendly, caring, (even) loving, happy, on and on. We are trying to do the right things. We are trying to do God's work that He has for us. We try to honor God, foll9w Jesus the Son, and listen and obey the direction of the Holy Spirit. I say again, that New Beginnings is a GOOD church. We can do better! We can be a great church.

We almost always place a numerical greatness as a better. I am not just talking about more people, but being the church God wants and needs us to be. We can be a GREAT CHURCH. With His help, we will be a great church.

As we begin, let us look at the early church where…
God's Word was shared (we must place a priority on God's Word)

God's abundance was shared (We must share God's blessings in our lives - physical and spiritual)

God's love was shared 4:31 (If God is love and we know Him, we must share love)

God's relationships were shared - 4:32-37 ( If we are to be great, it will be because He has changed us and we help Him change others)
