We looked last week at the beginning of Acts with the resurrected Lord Jesus and the giving of the Holy Spirit. This week we will explore those last few verses of chapter two where we see the life of the church begin. What were they doing? What was their purpose? What do we see in them that we should have in us as the church today?

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. Acts 2:42-47 (ESV).

Jesus was devoted to doing His Father’s will. The 1st Century church was devoted to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. May we unite together in devotion to our God and all these things we see in His Word.
