The Greatness of a Church

The sermon explores the characteristics of a truly great church, drawing from the early church in Jerusalem as described in Acts 4. It emphasizes that a great church is marked by profound unity, where believers share resources and live in harmony, empowered by the Holy Spirit to boldly proclaim the resurrection and demonstrate grace through selfless generosity. The speaker contends that this sacrificial service, exemplified by individuals like Barnabas, stems from a genuine work of God, transforming individuals and leading to a community marked by love, devotion, and a willingness to share all things for the benefit of the saints, ultimately reflecting a foretaste of heaven on earth.
