Week Sixteen-Day One: End of Day

Acts 2

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

This passage has provided inspiration to many, many individual Christians over the centuries and to many, many churches.  Our church is no exception.  We have looked at this passage and studied it many times to discern the what and how of our life together.  I’m still not sure I get it.
