    Fellowship was more than just an activity for the early Christians—it was a way of life that fostered deep connections, mutual support, and spiritual growth. Through fellowship, including shared meals, prayer, and encouragement, the early church thrived in unity and love.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Community — Church Fuel 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

    Stop Telling God What To Do

     | 202 views

And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    From the story of Samson we see the importance of being born to be set apart, staying set apart and recognizing the Lord's presence.

    DARING TO BE HOLY I heard the story of a man who was remembering that when he was a boy, he had a brother that collected baseball cards.
