Blessing for the Journey for Reverend Tom Baynham
as we mark his last Sunday serving as our Music Minister.
Today we continue the sermon series –
Church: A Christ Movement
With the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the disciples once again become a
“people on the move.” They travel – telling all they have seen and experience, and, continue the work of Jesus.
The community of disciples grows as the circle quickly expands and geographic territory is covered. The heart of the identity of this community is described in Acts 2:42-47 –
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
Over these weeks we will explore each text by wondering what these stories about the early church might inspire and shape the vision of our church today.
