The Fellowship Of The Believers
Following the massive influx of 3,000 new believers, a radical new community has rapidly formed in Jerusalem. These new Christians are not merely meeting for weekly services; they are continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship. They are breaking bread from house to house, sharing their lives with intense, glad sincerity.
The early church is marked by a deep sense of awe. The apostles are performing many wonders and signs, authenticating the message of the resurrected Christ. This infant church is setting the permanent standard for Christian community: a group of people totally devoted to the Word, to one another, and to prayer, living in a daily rhythm of worship.
"And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."
— Acts 2:42
— Acts 2:42
