Our Church?
#4 Be Devoted to God’s Word

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

Matthew 15:1-11

mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever
says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might
have received from me is a gift to God”— then he need

But their heart is far from Me.

them, “Hear and understand:
Not what goes into the mouth
defiles a man; but what comes
out of the mouth, this defiles a
man.”
