We explore what life looked like in that community — how believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Their devotion led to unity, generosity, and joy that made their faith attractive to those around them. The message invites us to reflect on what it means to be a church marked by the same devotion, generosity, and glad hearts.

]]> You probably didn’t feel a cultural pressure to attend church this morning. Most likely you wanted to come. Why is that? Why come to church? ⁠Hebrews 10:19-25⁠ provides us some answers to these questions. It states three “let us” statements about being together in church.

Second, let us hold fast to our confession of hope in scripture, prayer and community. Finally, let us not neglect meeting together. There is something very different and very special about being together in a church – it is being with Christ in a way that differs from our solitary time with God. Let’s be realistic: there is no such thing as a perfect church—gather, encourage one another, encourage others, and love each other.

It is not as deep. It is not as frequent. But we still need that community. The Church should be meeting this role. Pursue community in Christ.
