Advent
Advent is a significant period in the Christian calendar, marking the anticipation of Christ’s birth. It begins four Sundays before Christmas and serves as a time of reflection, hope, and preparation.
Traditions surrounding Advent, whether through prayer, scripture reading, or gatherings, are vital as they ground us in the spiritual significance of this anticipation. As we engage in this season, we reflect on the significance of waiting and preparing our hearts.
Devoted Part 3 - Acts 2:42 - Communion
Phil speaks on our third week looking at Acts 2:42 focusing on communion. The phrase "breaking of bread" is often understood as a reference to the Lord's Supper or Communion, a sacred act instituted by Jesus during the Last Supper with His disciples. This act serves multiple purposes within the context of worship. Firstly, it is a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, as we partake in the bread and wine as symbols of His body and blood. This remembrance fosters a profound connection between the us and Christ..
Devoted Part 2 - Acts 2:42 - Fellowship
In Acts 2:42, we find a profound insight into the early Church's life: "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." This verse captures the essence of community in the Christian faith, a vibrant tapestry interwoven with teaching, shared experiences, worship, and mutual support.
Fellowship is more than just gathering together; it is about forming deep, meaningful relationships that reflect Christ’s love. The early Christians shared their lives, their joys, their struggles, and their resources. They were united not only in belief but in practice, demonstrating a commitment to one another that we can still learn from today. Andie unpacks Fellowship more in this talk.
Devoted Part 1 - Acts 2:42 - Apostles Teaching
The early church devoted themselves to learning from the Apostles, which illustrates how essential it is for us to remain anchored in sound doctrine today. It is through the teaching of Scripture that we gain wisdom, discernment, and the ability to navigate life's complexities with faith. Ken unpacks this in the first of a four week series on Acts 2:42
