Read Acts 2:42-47
42They spent their time in learning from
the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship
meals and the prayers.
43 Many
miracles and wonders were being done through the apostles, and everyone was
filled with awe. 44All the believers continued together in
close fellowship and shared their belongings with one another. 45They
would sell their property and possessions, and distribute the money among all,
according to what each one needed. 46Day after day they met as a
group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating
with glad and humble hearts, 47praising God, and enjoying the good
will of all the people. And every day the Lord added to their group those who
were being saved.
Think
It is wonderful to imagine
the kind of community that the first church became. A communion of people who shared meals
together and helped those who were struggling. It seems the world beyond the
church was impressed by the depth of their love for each other.
Pray
Pray for your church. Pray
that we would have the courage to love each other more faithfully and
sacrificially.
