The followers of Jesus have received the Holy Spirit- God's empowering presence- and have heard Peter proclaim Jesus as both the "Sovereign One" (LORD) and "Saving One" (Messiah). Now we want to know if there is more to being the Church than presence and proclamation. In this sermon, Pastor Glenn Packiam examines four core strands of the Church's DNA: the Apostles' Doctrine, Fellowship, the Breaking of Bread, and Prayer. Along the way, we discover the importance of becoming disillusioned with our own ideals of community and learn to become grateful recipients and participants in the community Christ has formed at His Table.
