The main idea of Pastor Bryan's message 'Day by Day' was that living a day-by-day life for Jesus, as the early church did, leads to a flourishing life. He taught us that regular worship, joy in Christ, and a gospel-centered community are key to personal growth and the expansion of God's Kingdom. Pastor Bryan challenged the notion of individualism and encouraged us to embrace a life of worship and community, which has the power to transform our lives and the world around us.

Can you define Christianity as a 'present tense' belief or discipline? Why or why not?
Is any one element of the early church's growth (breaking bread in homes, devotion to the apostles' teaching, etc.) more important than the others?
Is your joy full as Jesus intended, and if not, why do you think that is?
Pastor Bryan's sermon 'Day by Day' at our church focused on the importance of living a day-by-day life in God, as demonstrated by the early church in Acts 2:42-47. He emphasized the power of regular worship, both in larger gatherings and in smaller, more intimate settings. Pastor Bryan pointed out that our culture's emphasis on individualism contrasts with the biblical model of community and collective goals. He highlighted that a life of faithfulness to God and gospel community leads to flourishing, joy, and an expanding Kingdom of God.
Prioritize attending God's house for worship on Sundays and engage in smaller gatherings with other Christians throughout the week.
Invite someone to church or into your home to share a meal and be a witness to the joy and love found in Christ.
