[1] One aspect of a healthy church is no irrelevant teaching. Look at Acts 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching.”


[2] Another aspect of a healthy church is that no one stands alone. Notice verse 42 talks about fellowship, breaking bread together - that’s eating together and taking the Lord’s supper together - and prayer.

[3] Another rule is the church should be a place where mask aren’t worn. Notice the word sincere in Acts 2:46.
The early Christians were real.


[4] The fourth rule was no part - time worship.
Notice the words every day in Acts 2:46.


[5] The fifth rule is no perfect people allowed, only changed people. Notice the last line of Acts 2:47: “The Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” It doesn’t say they were perfect but that they were being saved, being changed into what God really wanted. The church should be a place where people are growing and getting better.


Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
