Worship God and honor Jesus Christ together. Almost any kind of activity can be worshipful. Many believers like to sing to God, to tell each other how Jesus has recently helped them, to act out bible stories, or to dance with joy. Do only what your culture allows. |
|
Read from the Holy Bible. Read parts of the Bible and lead everyone in a discussion about the text, especially from the Gospels and the New Testament. Let children and adults act out bible stories. Decide together how the church members will obey the text, together. |
|
Pray using Jesus' name. Ask God to help with every member's needs. Ask him to help others, also. Thank him for the ways in which he helps them. Go pray for sick folk to get well, for oppressed folk to get free, for needy folk to get from God what they need, for more families to become followers of Jesus. |
|
Celebrate the Lord's Table. Break and eat bread together to remember Jesus' crucified body, and drink something to remember Jesus' blood that cleanses away sin. Do this often and let everyone have time to experience communion with Jesus. |
|
Share with each other. Let each one meet needs of others. Let everyone talk about God and Jesus. Let them encourage each other. Let them serve each other in practical ways. Let them give money to meet urgent needs of the poor. |
|
Send out workers. Appoint and send those who want to go help others learn about Jesus. Empower them to start new little churches and to do with others these same activities. Hear their reports when they return. Let them train others to do the same kind of work. |
|
Ask God for supernatural help. Pray to God to honor Jesus by helping others in ways that only God can do. Let him transform wicked folk into righteous. Let him heal the sick and deliver the oppressed. Let him provide for others beyond what you yourselves are able to do. |
