Summary

The last few verses of Acts 2 give us a glimpse of the early church. These new believers devoted themselves to fellowship with each other. They lived vulnerable lives in rich relationships with one another. Living like Christ in the power of the Spirit enables us to live sacrificially, humbly, and generously. May we live counterculturally like the early church so others are drawn to the God who saves.    For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

They were hungry to learn more about God.

And that posture of humble teachability is crucial for our growth.

1:01.9

When you start to think you've arrived, you never will.
