Can you imagine a world where people sell their possessions to help one another, inspired solely by their faith? Join us as we uncover the birth of the early Christian church, ignited by Peter's powerful sermon on the day of Pentecost, leading to the baptism of around 3,000 new believers. We’ll walk you through the essential elements that forged this community—belief in Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and public testimony through baptism—and highlight their commitment to the apostles' teachings, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.
Have you ever wondered how a small group of believers could transform an entire culture? Discover the radical communal living and giving that defined these early Christians, driven by unselfishness and faith. We'll reflect on the humility and peace-making that characterized their interactions, and how they laid down their pride for Jesus' teachings. This episode sheds light on how these early believers profoundly impacted their society and offers insights on how we can embody these principles to attract others to our faith today.
