A Church on the Go

What does it look like when the church truly comes alive? In Acts chapter 2, we encounter the very first gathering of believers after the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost—a church that wasn't content with the status quo but was radically devoted to four essential practices: teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. This wasn't a congregation going through religious motions; these were 3,000 newly transformed souls who were steadfast, unmovable, and daily adding to their number. The word 'steadfast' appears throughout this passage like a drumbeat, calling us to examine our own devotion. Are we barnacle-attached to our faith, or are we drifting with cultural currents? The early church didn't just meet on Sundays—they shared life together daily, cared for one another's needs, and made the Lord's business their business. They weren't worried about what others thought; they were too busy experiencing the supernatural power of God through healing, provision, and transformed lives. Today, we face a challenge: our priorities have shifted. The bullseye that once centered on church and faith has been pushed to the outer rings, replaced by sports, activities, and cultural pursuits. But what if we recaptured that early church devotion? What if we became a community so filled with authentic love, supernatural unity, and purposeful action that the watching world couldn't help but be drawn to what we have in Christ?
