Tonight we are going to be in Acts 2:42 if you want to go on and turn there.
We ALWAYS want the appropriate context- read before and after
Same Luke that wrote Gospel of Luke is now writing to show the work of the Holy Spirit and events of the early church
Acts often referred to for how they did church!
4 Things in this passage we want for this group!!!!
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

We want to make a habit of……these 4 things
1. Dedicated themselves to the Apostle’s Teaching
1. Dedicated themselves to the Apostle’s Teaching
Apostles
comissioned by Jesus
12 disciples
Paul
could have been more
but they’re dead now
MUST rely on the Bible!
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Scripture is the ultimate authority & we want to read it & meditate on it (Psalm 1:2), and understand it!
If you have a hard time reading the Bible, WELCOME! We do too at times
Reading requires work
cultural differences
translations
we want to make it easier!
NOT going to shame anyone
NONE of us have all the answers
God CANNOT BE 100% understood

2. Dedicated themselves to Fellowship
2. Dedicated themselves to Fellowship
we NEED community
Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
safe place for doubt
Accountability
Build each other up
One of the ways we want to accomplish this is POINT 3! … AND MAYBE MY FAVORITE!!!
3. Dedicated themselves to the Breaking of Bread
3. Dedicated themselves to the Breaking of Bread
Historically debated- meals or the Lords Supper? We’re doing BOTH!
1. MEALS:
special to eat with friends
We LOVE coffee and snacks & want to keep it going, but sometimes we’d like to eat a meal together
coolest things at the fire station
get to know one another
donation box will go to this
2. LORDS SUPPER
In Luke before the cross.. Jesus took communion with his disciples
told them to take it in rememberance of Him.
We don’t ever want to forget that while we were sinners- enemies of GOD- God sent His innocent son to die the death that we deserved on that cross.. so he could raise him on the third day and defeat sin once and for all
We want to walk in obedience to this!
4. Dedicated themselves to Prayer
4. Dedicated themselves to Prayer
Scripture full importance of prayer
Paul prayed for people
disciples instructed by Jesus how to pray
Jesus prayed throughout His ministry
Hebrews 7:25 tells us Jesus is praying for us now!
The early church prayed, and we are too!
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
We want to bring you the hope of the Gospel, but you will also face Tribulation at some point in your life- we want to pray with you and walk through it with you!

The apostles did not have the perfect care free church despite these things…. BUT THOUSANDS GOT SAVED & THE WAY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE KNOWN WORLD!
