Acts 2:42-47

Listen to Acts 2:42-47
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.
44 All who believed were together and had all things in common;
45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need.
46 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts,
47 praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

We're Better Together, Part 2
We're Better Together, Part 2
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

It’s possible to live around the edge of Christian community instead of actually stepping into it. You can easily go to church every Sunday and not talk to a single person. Or, you can stream a Sunday service and watch it from the comfort of your living room couch. You’re free to isolate yourself, you have Jesus, you’re going to heaven, and He loves you—none of that will change. But life here on earth is so much better when we share it together! In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from Acts chapter 2 where we learn how to avoid the discontentment, despair, and loneliness that isolation breeds and instead step into a rich and fulfilling life.
