A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What is the mission of the Church according to the Bible?
Acts shows the first believers devoting themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Ephesians describes Christ equipping the body so each part can contribute and the whole can grow in love. When you read a forceful observation about the Church, bring it alongside these pictures of shared life and discipleship.
From Preaching the Gospel to Living It Together
Vince’s sayings address both public witness and faults within church life. The devotion of the early believers gives a shared standard for constructive reflection. Consider whether your group helps people learn the Gospel, receive support in hardship, and develop opportunities to serve.
Put one quote into practice
Read Acts 2 with a friend. Choose one habit you can strengthen together this month, such as praying for one another, sharing a meal, or learning a passage as a group. Reflect on what people actually experience when they take part in your church community.
