    Believers are called to come together as a caring community.

    Last week, we made note of the fact that as a Christian community, we are called to learn together. We pointed out that this was a key element associated with the life of the early church, who "devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching." Now today, I want us to think on yet another ...read more

    Believers are called to come together as an evangelistic community.

    Our passage does not specifically tell us that the early church devoted themselves to evangelism, although we may conclude that they did, indeed, share the message of the Good News with those who did not know Christ. What we are told is that they devoted themselves to learning ("to the Apostle’s ...read more
