The Secret Power of Joy in the Early Church

Have you ever seen a miserable Christian? The Bible tells us the early church lived differently: “They worshipped together… and shared their meals with great joy and generosity” (Acts 2:46–47, NLT).In this short Christian devotional, Salvation Army officer and pastor Rob Westwood-Payne shares why church should be the happiest place on earth. Worship, fellowship, and service were never meant to be gloomy - they were designed to be joyful, hope-filled, and contagious.👉 If you want:Daily encouragement from God’s WordA reminder that joy is at the heart of Christian faithBible teaching that applies to everyday lifeSimple ways to bring joy to your church and communityWatch now and discover how joy can transform your worship and witness.#BattleDrillDevotional #ChristianEncouragement #DailyDevotional #SalvationArmy #Acts2 #ChristianJoy #ChurchLife🔔 Subscribe for more Battle Drill Daily Devotionals and weekly Battle Ready Sermons: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRCAfiHehjUmYEPsOE8o4ZxH64ZFetd6n🌐 More encouragement and resources: BattleDrillDevotional.comRead this week’s devotionals here - https://open.substack.com/pub/battledrilldevotional/p/7-secrets-of-the-early-church-for?r=643q6o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueMore devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.
