Day 14 — The First Community (Acts 2:42-47) | May 9
from Acts Daily Devotional Podcast · host Derek Sanford
Three thousand brand-new Christians woke up the morning after Pentecost with no playbook, no church building, and no idea what came next. What they did have was each other. In today's episode, we look at the four rhythms that shaped the earliest church -- teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer -- and why Luke says God kept adding to their number daily. The early church didn't grow because they had a good strategy. They grew because they were genuinely devoted. And devotion like that is still the most contagious thing in the world.
