Hey, this is David Platt. Can I tell you why April 17th matters so much? Secret Church happens only once a year,

and it's inspired by believers who gather at great cost. And on April 17th, over 50,000 believers from around the world

will come together online for six hours in God's Word,

studying the life of Elijah, and we'll pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters.

And we'll act together to make Jesus known among some of the hardest to reach places in the world.

This is a unique night.

Set apart for God's Word and our faithful response to it.

If you're able, I hope you'll join us.

It's what made them different. How they devoted themselves to the fellowships, the way they cared for

each other, how they devoted themselves to worship, exemplified in how they participated in the

Lord's Supper. And we've looked at that last couple of weeks. We come to that fourth one this morning. They devoted themselves to worship, exemplified in how they participated in the Lord's Supper. And we've looked at that last couple of weeks.
