Last week we looked at whether we have God in a “box.” This week, we considered the description of the primitive church (right after the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost) in Acts 2:41-47. 

Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all. All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

Questions for Reflection

  • Do we also limit what we believe about the possibilities of the Church? 
  • What if God’s Spirit wants to remove the limits we place on what He’s capable of in and through us, the disciples of Jesus?
