Discovering God’s Future Together
THE CHURCH GOD BUILDS
Acts 2:42–47
Today’s Big Idea
God doesn’t simply build churches. He shapes a people through whom His love, His grace, and His Gospel can reach the world.
Key Verse
“And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:47
My Notes
What has God been speaking to me today?
MOVEMENT ONE
A Church Shaped by the __________________ of Christ
Acts 2:42
“They __________________ themselves…”
The future of any church is not determined first by its __________________.
It is determined by the spiritual __________________ of its people.
Healthy churches are built one devoted __________________ at a time.
Jesus said… “Abide in Me… apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Reflection
If someone looked at my week…
• My calendar
• My conversations
• My priorities
What would they say I’m devoted to?
My Prayer
Lord, don’t just bless my church…
MOVEMENT TWO
A Church That Lives Like __________________
Acts 2:44–46
The church isn’t an event we __________________.
It’s a family where we __________________.
The greatest witness of the church has never been its __________________.
It has always been its __________________.
Remember the Stories
God was faithful when…
- The mortgage seemed impossible.
- A step of faith was taken for the next generation.
- Bills were placed on the altar.
Those weren’t just financial stories…
They were stories of God’s __________________.
This Week
Who needs…
- My encouragement?
- My phone call?
- My prayer?

MOVEMENT THREE
A Church That Lives for God’s __________________
Acts 2:47
“The __________________ added…”
God is building something inside the church because He loves people __________________ the church.
The Gospel changes __________________… so God can change __________________ through us.
The future of this church is bigger than this church.
It is about advancing the __________________ of God
How can God use me this week?
