And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 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.
Acts 2:42-47
The Church, energized by the Holy Spirit and motivated by a relational commitment to one another, has the power to change lives like nothing else on earth. Community is such a strong force that today more than two billion people worldwide are part of this thing called “The Church.” Here people can feel loved and accepted in ways they had only previously hoped for.
