Devoted Community
Acts 2:37-47 reveals how the first church was formed, emphasizing the central role of the preached gospel and the call to repentance and baptism. The early believers devoted themselves to the Apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer, forming a transformative community. They received the Holy Spirit, which empowered them to live in obedience to God, and they continued to grow in faith through Scripture, communal living, shared meals, and prayer. This devotion not only shaped their lives but also influenced the broader society, leaving a lasting legacy for us to follow today.
