Celebration
Church
is structured on the five biblical purposes of the church.
One place in
which these purposes are found is Acts 2:42-47.
WORSHIP - "They
devoted themselves… to the breaking of bread and to prayer .... They
continued to meet together in the temple courts praising God ....” (vv.
42, 46, 47)
The
objective here is to magnify God. Worship answers out basic human
need for a power to live on.
FELLOWSHIP - "They
devoted themselves to the fellowship ....All the believers were together
....They ate together ....” (vv 42, 44, 46)
The
objective here is membership in God's family. Fellowship answers
our basic human need for people to live with.
DISCIPLESHIP - "They
devoted themselves the apostles' teaching.” (v.
42)
The
objective here is to grow to maturity in Christ. Discipleship
answers our basic human need for principles to live by.
SERVICE - "They gave to
anyone as he had need.” (v.
45)
The
objective here is to engage in ministry. Service answers our basic
human need for a profession to live out.
EVANGELISM – “And the Lord
added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
(v. 47)
The
objective here is mission to those who have yet to receive Christ.
Evangelism answers our basic human need for a purpose to live for.
