The Book of Acts reveals the purest picture of what the church should look like. The first church began with 3,120 people and grew rapidly as believers shared their faith. Four foundational elements were established: devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, worship, and prayer. These four priorities—often remembered as WIFE: Worship, Instruction, Fellowship, and Expression—remain essential for any healthy church today. When believers prioritize these elements, the church fulfills its purpose as Christ's bride and witnesses to the world.
