What the Early Church Knew That We Often Forget

from Draycote and Leam Valley Benefice · host Phil Price

In Acts 2:42–47 we get a snapshot of what the early church was like at its most vibrant and alive. But this isn’t just history—it raises a searching question for us today: what actually gives the church its life, its character, and its direction?In this sermon, we explore four core devotions of the early church—teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer—and consider how everything else in church life flows from these foundations. Along the way, we reflect on how easily churches (and individuals) can drift into focusing on programmes, structures, and responsibilities while losing sight of what sits at the centre.📖 Passage: Acts 2:42–47
