Introduction
Satan has tried to destroy the Church and the Gospel message:
1. Without By Persecution
2. Within By Hypocrisy
3. Now he Uses Dissention
How a Spirit Filled Church Looks
It is unified - one heart and one soul
They had all things in common
When one member wept they all wept
When one member rejoiced they all rejoiced
There was “Community Awareness”
They were concerned more with the Spiritual than the material
They had a “Spiritual Awareness”
They had "A Biblical World View”
THE INTEGRITY AND PURITY OF THE CHURCH IS NOW
THREATENED
FROM WITHIN BY DISSENSION
(Chapter 6:1-7)
