Apostles Teaching?1. Teaching What:

1. John 14:26 “…teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”

2. We believe that the Bible in its entirety (all 66 canonical books) is inspired by God; absolute in its authority, complete in its revelation, final in its content and without error. (Met Statement of Beliefs)

Fellowship• “Partnership” or

“Sharing”• Acts 2:44-45

– Had all things in common– Shared as there was need

• I John 1:3– Fellowship with us– Fellowship with Christ

Breaking of Bread• Communion exists to:

2. Keep Christ central to all thought (I Cor. 11:26)

Prayer• Prayer for both the

church & individuals

• “Students meeting Students meeting God”

• I Thess 5:17, Phil. 4:6

…and the Lord added to their numbers daily…
