Nehemiah & Discouragement

Devoted
This Sunday, Pastor Charles will explore Acts 2:42–47, looking at what defined the early church. They were devoted to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. As a result, their lives were marked by unity, generosity, joy, and ongoing growth as the Lord added to their number.
