Acts: The Lifestyle of Gathering (Part 3)
from Valleyview Church · host Valleyview Church Englewood
The early church was devoted to the prayers. Not as a religious obligation. Not as something to check off. As something they couldn't imagine living without.In this teaching from Acts 2:42, we look at what made the disciples' prayer life so different — and it starts with what they watched. They walked with Jesus. They saw him withdraw before dawn, slip away in the middle of miracles, live in full dependence on the Father. And out of everything they could have asked him, this is the one thing they asked: teach us how to pray.We'll look at what happened when the early church gathered to pray, why Jesus says we must pray at all times so we don't lose heart, and what it means that we're not begging for God's attention — we're being drawn into a conversation that is already happening.This is part of our ongoing series through Acts 2:42-47: The Lifestyle of Gathering.
