TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 8 | The Church is for Jesus. We in our earthly bodies represent a church service to people who might not know Jesus and the best way that we can serve Him to show Him to people is to first seek His Kingdom and His righteousness.

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 7 | Acts 2: 42-47, can be viewed as not so much as an exact model for the Christian church today, but more as the historical way the church was started; but it is so much more than that. God whispered in my ear just the one word - community. How was community created for those first believers in Jesus, the Messiah and what is still true for the Christian community today? Three clear thoughts came to me: CONNECTION, AGE DOESN'T MATTER, AGE DOES MATTER. Whatever your age, it is those vital connections that matter, both to you as an individual and to the strength of the Christian Community. What is your connection?

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 6 | One of the characteristics of the early church, in the book of Acts, was unity. Why is unity important, what does it look like and how do we apply it to our own church community in the 21st century?

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 4 | On your worst day, in your darkest hour - Knowing who you are and Who He is, makes all the difference.

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 3 | The Bible tells many stories of people doing extraordinary things in Godrsquo;s power, yet we may feel as though nothing that special could ever be part of our own life. Today we look at how Jesus called Peter to lead His church in its early, difficult days, and learn that God doesnrsquo;t search out special people to call; He calls ordinary people, like you and I ndash; and makes them special in His service.

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 2 | Being together was a characteristic of the early church. But they were soon scattered and had to really work on being together. We are scattered too, and togetherness doesn't always come naturally. We need to look out carefully for our lonely people. So how can we be together in a great way by including others, including me, including people outside, and including God. Putting it together is like a jigsaw puzzle.

TenTalks 22/02/2015 | Part 1 | In Acts 2:42 the believers devoted themselves to the teachings of the apostles. The early Church served others, shared and saw many miracles. How can we live this out today? I believe it starts with KNOWING God and visiting our relationship with him continually, if we donrsquo;t do this, our actions become diluted and move away from Godrsquo;s agenda?
