Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

When you read the story of the early believers in the Book of Acts, what goes through your

mind?

The way they live amongst each other, the way they love one another, it seems beautiful.

But for many people, their experience of the church looks quite opposite.

In this week's episode, Francis Chan takes us through the story of the early church

in Acts chapter 4 and encourages us to not only pursue living like the biblical church,

but to believe the Holy Spirit can do in us what he did in them.

We pray that this episode is an encouragement to you and leads you to consider how beautiful

it is to be a part of the body of Christ.

What goes through your mind when you hear that story of the early church?

Do you listen to that and go, man, that would have been such a great thing to be a part

of?

I mean, don't we all listen to that and go, gosh, I wish I could see that, I wish I could

be a part of that, I wish I could have been there, but I wonder what goes on in your mind

after you hear that in the sense of what does that mean for us today?

Because I'll tell you what happens when I read through the Book of Acts, like I want

to read just a real short passage to you.

It's in Acts chapter 4.

You continue on.

You're reading about the church in its beginnings and you get to Acts chapter 4 and I was reading

this passage verse 29, the believers together and they're praying.
