TRUTH: To be the church, people must matter more than things!

1. Unity marks us!
Acts 4:32a :: Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul,

2. We hold possessions loosely!
Acts 4:32b :: and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

3. We care for one another!
Acts 4:34 :: There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold

4. We are authentic in our community!
Acts 4:37 :: sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
