Characteristics of the Early Church | A Growing Church

The early church was a growing church.

- The growth of a church can't be just measured by the number of people attending the church.
- The growth of a church can't be measured by the size of the building. 
- The growth of a church can't be measured by looking at the balance sheet or the income it is capable of generating.
- The growth of a church can't be measured by knowing how much they spend out for the community development program, it need not be a church to do so.----more----

Our individual prayer lives have a great influence in the prayer life of the church.

- Let us pray more than we do
- Let us pray more than we plan
- Let us pray more than we speak

I am sure God is working in some of your lives to draw you into the realm of prayer and intercession.  He is not going to leave you until He is done with you.  The early church was a praying church and it was also a growing church.
