This episode in the life of the early church shows us the priority work of the church is the ministry of the word of Christ, and the fruit of the Spirit in the church is the meeting of real needs. The early church found a way to do both so that the word of God increased and the number of disciples multiplied. May the Lord give us grace to do the same.

Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
