I never get tired of looking at the amazing beginning of the church. The book of Acts, one of my favorites, is packed with Spirit-inspired transformation stories.

For much of the Relentless series, we’ll be looking closely at the church and learning as much as we can. If you want to start sinking your teeth into something before you get to Community this weekend, start here:

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. ⁴³Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. ⁴⁴All the believers were together and had everything in common. ⁴⁵They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. ⁴⁶Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47 NIV)
