"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
I visited a home church plant on Wednesday night and I had my Fellowship Metro women small group Thursday night. I could definitely meet every day with other Believers. It's amazing. I love the bond with other Christians that you can have even when you don't know each other. Both Wednesday and Thursday night there were people there who I had never met before and we got along really well, surprisingly well. A great description is "sincere hearts...praising God...enjoying the favor of all the people." I think this attraction and bond, combined with the powerful Truth about God, is what contributed to the number of those were being saved.
The same thing can still happen today if we're prioritizing our Christian outreach as a Community of Believers.

Katie, darling -
This post ties in so well with what Jeff Jones spoke about today at church. He said that it is impossible to gow closer to God without also growing closer to other believers. Christian fellowship is not just a "bonus," it is ESSENTIAL. So true! And when we are connected to and with other believers, we can participate in explosions of spiritual growth together. YAY! Love you so much!
