Back to Our Roots

Victory Church Podcast

Big Idea: Community Groups get us back to our roots as a Church Acts 2:38 “Peter replied, “Repent AND be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:41-47 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles. 44 Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. 45 They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. Practically speaking what did they do? First: They repented and were baptized Acts 2:42a “They devoted themselves to…” What were they devoted to? The Apostles Teaching The Fellowship The Breaking of Bread Prayer They Held ALL THINGS in Common They Cared for Each Others Needs EVERYDAY They meet in the TEMPLE and in HOUSES Acts 2:46a Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. Acts 5:42 EVERY DAY in the TEMPLE, AND in various HOMES, they continued teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah. They were joyful, they were humble, and they Praised God THIS IS WHERE CHANGE HAPPENS!!!
