We dive into Acts 4:32-37, exploring the remarkable unity and devotion of the first-century church despite their considerable size and diversity. This passage reveals powerful truths about maintaining unity, sharing resources, and living under God's grace.
• The early church numbered well over 10,000 believers who maintained "one heart and soul"
• Unity is a gift from God that we maintain rather than create ourselves
• Keeping focus on the resurrection of Jesus maintains our unity despite differences
• The believers shared possessions not through forced communalism but willing generosity
• They recognized everything they owned was ultimately a gift from God
• The apostles proclaimed the resurrection "with great power" despite facing persecution
• The resurrection distinguishes Christianity from all other religions
• Success in ministry comes not from our abilities but from "the good hand of God"
• We are called to examine our devotion to God's kingdom through fellowship and Scripture
• Living under God's grace enables us to do what we could never accomplish in our own strength
If you've never trusted Christ as your Savior, we invite you to recognize that Jesus died for your sins and rose again to give you new life. Come speak with one of our counselors who can share how you can trust in the power of Christ's resurrection.
