Acts: Part 6 – The Growing Church

The Firstfruits of the Gospel were 3,000 converted men and women on the Day of Pentecost. The first thing they did was form a community of Believers. We call this community, “The Church.” Over the years, Cross Church has tried to imitate the first Church. Here is what they did: ***42** And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. **44** And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. **46** And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, **47** praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.*
