WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.


 


CURRENT Sermon Series:  FULLY DEVOTED
This Sunday (8/23)
Connected and Growing
Scripture: Acts 2

This Sunday we will zero in on how fully-devoted followers of Christ seek ways to get connected to the body of Christ and continue to grow in their faith.  In Acts 2:42, Luke writes, "All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer." (NLT) 
These believers sought after opportunities to stay connected to the body of Christ, even meeting daily.  Maybe some of us don't have that kind of time, but it is important for all of us to seek out ways that we can get connected with other believers or create those opportunities.  Also, we will unpack the importance of being a constant learner and student of God's Word.  This Sunday we will discover that to be a fully-devoted follower of Christ we will need to be connected to other believers and we will need to make growing in the Lord a priority in our lives.  - ART
