Acts 2:42 describes the DNA of the first-century Church: "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42, NASB95)

They were "devoted" to two main things: "the apostles' teaching and to fellowship." "Breaking of bread and prayer" were part of that fellowship. Today, we might describe this as biblical literacy and community. We know this is the "DNA of the first-century Church" because these two "devotions" pop up throughout the rest of the New Testament.

But, today, there are cultural forces that have led many churches to de-emphasize these two important priorities. The Calvary Conversations team continues a discussion about this development as well as solutions for bringing them back to the forefront of our church activities.
