TBC Notes

Are You “Continuing Stedfastly”?

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts:2:42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
See All...)

If I were to pick one verse from God's Word that packs it all in for me, it's definitely Acts:2:42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
See All.... I'm exhorted and convicted by practically every word. Here's the way it challenges me: Am I continuing “stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine”? “Steadfastly” (modern spelling) means that I am recognizing that it's the Word of God (not the word of men) which the apostles were given by the Holy Spirit and instructed to teach. That's biblical doctrine which I need to know in order to obey!

My favorite time of fellowship is primarily participating in Bible studies, whether it’s a Saturday men's study or a Zoom meeting get-together with the TBC staff four days a week. I consider the breaking of bread as having meals with my brothers and sisters in Christ as well as remembering the Lord's sacrifice, which our church does on a monthly basis.

All the above must be submitted and sustained through prayer (and that “without ceasing”—1 Thessalonians:5:16-18 [16] Rejoice evermore. [17] Pray without ceasing. [18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
See All...). Our Thursday Zoom meeting is dedicated to praying for those who contact us through emails and calls requesting prayers for themselves and others.
