Acts 2:42-47

Listen to Acts 2:42-47

42 And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

43 But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

44 And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;

45 And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need.

46 And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

47 Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.

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.
