This year as a church we will be working our way through the book of Acts on Sunday mornings.
Acts records the growth of the early church, which was started by Jesus’s disciples and then expanded by the Apostle Paul. It’s an exciting ride, from the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, to shipwrecks and imprisonments, to life changing sermons delivered by ex-fishermen.
Acts 2:42-47 beautifully describes the nature of the early Christian church:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved”.
Please join with us as we learn from the early church as to how we are to live as the church today.
