This is the last week in our Prayers of the Bible series.
We are going to be spending some time looking at the early church in the book of Acts.
Here are some scriptures to whet your appetite for this week’s discussion…
Acts 1:12-14 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13 When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying: Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.
Acts 2:42-47 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 Awe came upon everyone because many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
Devoted to prayer…
Faithful to prayer…
Steadfast to prayer…
Committed to prayer…
Given over to prayer…
What would the church look like today if we were devoted to prayer.
What happened to the early church in the books of Acts?
Let’s talk about it on Sunday.
