TITLE: “chURch - devoted”
TEXT: Acts 2 (especially vss. 42-47)
IN A NUTSHELL: It's the second major Jewish feast of the year. It comes at the close of the grain harvest and God has called every Jew to come to Jerusalem for a time of worship and gratitude to God for the harvest. All of a sudden 120 disciples praying becomes 12 apostles preaching and then 3,000 souls coming into the chURch. What now? In verses 42-47 we see the four practices/priorities/privileges that united a very diverse chURch, and set the stage for an unprecedented spiritual harvest!
A few questions to consider:
- How many different nations were represented in the crowd on Pentecost?
- If you remove the word "tongues" and put in it's place languages how would you view the story of Acts 2 differently?
- What seemed to be the main points of Peter's sermon?
- What are four reoccurring priorities the new chURch started/grew with?
- To what RU devoted?
