Week 3 | Devotional | Dan

3/1/12

Passage: Acts 2:42-47

1. Prayer (Ö)

2. Meditation

            This is a beautiful picture of daily life in the early church. There was teaching, fellowship, and prayer, and people were devoted to all of these practices. There were wonders and signs performed. All the believers were incredibly sacrificial and giving. They met every day. They were in each other’s homes breaking bread, with “glad and sincere hearts, praising God...” People were being saved daily, and it was the Lord who was adding to their number daily.

*Attitude to change:

-Genuine fellowship/sincerity & gladness instead of trivial conversation and wasting time on meaningless activities

-Let’s remember that it’s about sharing the gospel with those on the outside. Let’s not keep it all to ourselves.

*Example to follow:

-Be devoted to godly practices

-Meet with brothers and sisters often

-Give praise and thanks to God often

3. Application

This week, I will acknowledge and give glory to God in conversation at least once a day.

4. Memorization

Acts 2:46-47

“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, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.”
