RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH: Acts 2:41



  1. Acts 2:42 – faithful bible study both publicly and privately
  2. Acts 2:42 – faithful attendance (continued daily in apostles doctrines and fellowship). Heb. 10:25 – God’s people must assemble every time the assembly assembles. 
  3. Acts 2:42 – sanctification (as they observed the LORD’s supper… as they examine their hearts in the light of the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ.) – we are to walk in personal holiness.
  4. Acts 2:42 – Prayer.  Public prayer.  The prayer meeting.  The Church is to be a house of prayer.  Every believer have to be a part of the prayer ministry of the church.  Matthew 18 – the place of the power of God in heaven through prayer God’s people agreeing together.  Heaven’s power is released through the prayer ministry of the Church.
  5. Acts 2:43 – Work.  Apostolic gifts being manifested by the Apostles.  We have grace gifts that should be exercised. 
  6. Acts 2:44-45 – Giving.  Sharing of the material means.  Suppling and giving of what they have to further the cause of Jesus Christ.
  7. Acts 2:46 – Unity.  We are to maintain the unity of the body.
  8. Acts 2:47 – Soulwinning.  Acts 8 – great persecution of the church.  Membership was scattered.  Result is found in Acts 8:4.  Every member preached the word.  Every member has the responsibility to be a witness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
