Acts 2:37-47, "The Spirit-Filled Church"

Peter delivers a message that cuts the crowd to the heart, and thousands respond by repenting, being baptized, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. The new believers devote themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer, while signs and wonders occur among them. They hold their possessions loosely, selling what they have to meet one another's needs, and gather together daily in the temple courts and in their homes with gladness and sincerity. The community grows steadily as the Lord adds to their number day by day those who are being saved. Where have you drawn the line between your private faith and your shared community life?
