In the book of Acts, the Church was being established. We here at Crossroads believe that the present day church should follow the pattern of the church originally established by Christ and His appointed apostles. We will watch these Apostles in action, and we will see answers to such questions as: Why does the church meet on Sunday? Why the Lord's Table? Who are to be the church's leaders? How is the church supposed to work? These are important questions, especially in a day when there seems to be a free-for-all approach to how we are to do church! God has not left us to flounder... He has given us lots of direction. And, if we follow that direction, we will be blessed!! Isn't it always that way!!

The church always must deal with the occasional tensions and stresses, misunderstandings and hurts that emerge because, although saved, we have remaining sin. That's a given. What is not a given is whether or not such matters will be handled in a wise and godly fashion that brings even deeper unity and God's blessing, or whether people will fight and divide and bring dishonor to Christ's name. We have a wonderful example and very important teaching in this passage of Acts. This class will be of great importance to all who aspire to be godly church members.
