God chose us to make a difference, but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. This message series will focus on values that will inspire our church in faith, serving, generosity, and evangelism. What we can’t do alone, God empowers us to do together.
Jesus And Us
Together Anything's Possible
Part 14: 3 Mindsets of a church that is pleasing to God.

“42They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44And all the believers were together and had all things in common; 45and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. 46Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47
