Devoted to What?

What are you devoted to with your life? One of the ways to tell where your devotion lies is to see where to spend your time or money.

The early church was devoted to five things. We will take a look at these things found in Acts 2: 42-47 42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. 46 Day 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, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

  • Worship... (the breaking of bread and to prayer)
  • Fellowship.. (the fellowship)
  • Discipleship... (the apostles teaching)
  • Service.....(anyone as he had need)
  • Evangelism...(the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.)

These were things that the whole church was involved with doing because these are commanded by God.

So I ask again... "Where does your devotion lie?"

I pray that you will be devoted to what God commands.
