These new believers listened carefully to what the apostles taught them. They joined with everyone else in the group. They prayed together and they ate meals together. The apostles did many miracles which showed that the power of God was with them. As a result, all the people were very surprised and afraid. All the believers continued to meet together often. They shared all their things with each other. They sold some of their own things. Then they gave that money to any believers who needed it. The whole group of believers met together every day in the yard of the temple. They shared their food and they ate meals together in each other's homes. They were very happy and they were honest with each other. All the time, they praised God. All the other people thought that the believers were good people. Every day, the Lord saved more people so that the group of believers grew bigger.

In this era, when people are looking to different sources of energy for the busy life we are living, it is good to know the power we have received from the Lord. Why did our Heavenly Father promise His Spirit to us? Are you experiencing this kind of life? Learn from the first believers the sort of life we have been empowered to live over this earth.
This series focuses on building three types of community: between you and God, between you and self, and you and others. We will focus initially on the first Christian community found in Acts 2:42-47 which showcases the purity of devotion each believer had to God and each other. As their community grew stronger, so did their faith as God added to their number day by day.
In this plan, you'll be reminded of the importance of shifting our focus toward God’s promises through prayer. This 3-day plan explores how prayer widens our perspective, helps us trust God with our needs, and builds a foundation of gratitude in our daily lives. By centering on Scripture, you'll feel empowered to lift your eyes to God’s provision, cast your anxieties on Him, and engage in community for mutual support.
Does church sometimes feel like a chore? Do you wonder why you can't just pray and worship at home? Check out this short three-day plan for a new vision and appreciation of how God meets with us in the weekly gathering of his people.
