Sharing

4-12-2014           Acts 2:42-47

S.            42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

O.           The birth of the church happened on this day. People came together and shared their possessions and they all kept spreading the word about Jesus and who he really is. The group grew every day.

A.           The church should “keep it simple”; share with each other and spread the word. Now, how can I make this work in today’s complex world? I can’t, but the Holy Spirit can!

P.            Father, help me share this beautiful message with the church. Amen.
