Acts: Part 3 – First Believers Prayer Meetings

Acts 1:14-15 reads*, “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus. **15** During this time, when about 120 believers were together in one place.”* These first Believers were known for their prayer. But it must be noted that this prayer was not just private prayer. We notice several things about these praying disciples of Christ. This prayer was constant. This prayer was *with* the other Believers. This prayer was offered in *unity* among the Believers. And finally, this prayer was in response to Jesus’s instructions to wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit that was to be poured out on all Believers. Prayer is critical to the life and advancement of the Church.
