…do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. PHIL 2:3
People should be concerned about others and not just about themselves. 1 COR 10:24
SILLY VIDEO: ME CHURCH - VIDEO
· IN SOME WAYS…IT WAS OUR FAMILY!
CHURCH CULTURE: WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
IT WASN’T ALWAYS THAT WAY…The whole congregation of believers was united as one—one heart, one mind! They didn’t even claim ownership of their own possessions. No one said, “That’s mine; you can’t have it.” They shared everything. The apostles gave powerful witness to the resurrection of Jesus, and grace was on all of them.
And so it turned out that not a person among them was needy. Those who owned fields or houses sold them and brought the price of the sale to the apostles and made an offering of it. The apostles then distributed it according to each person’s need. ACTS 4:32-35
