Acts 2:41-47

Listen to Acts 2:41-47
41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand 1souls.
42 They were 2continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to 3the breaking of bread and 4to prayer.
43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many 5wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
44 And all those who had believed were together * * and 6had all things in common;
45 and they 7began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
46 8Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and 9breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
47 praising God and 10having favor with all the people. And the Lord 11was adding to their number day by day 12those who were being saved.

The Church Still Prevails
Bob Russell, Mike Breaux, Rick Atchley, Ben Cachiaras, Aaron Brockett, and Gene Appel

In this week's message, we look back to the birth of the Church in Acts 2 and discover why the Church continues to thrive and why believers today can have confidence in its future.Drawing from the example of the first Christians, we explore four timeless practices that shaped the early Church. These foundational commitments not only transformed lives in the first century, but they remain God's blueprint for a healthy, vibrant church today.Join us as we discover how these biblical priorities can strengthen our faith and renew our confidence in Christ's promise that He will build His Church. No matter the challenges of our day, the Church still prevails because Jesus is its foundation and faithful builder.
