  • Reading – Acts 4:32-37 ESV
    • 32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.
    • 33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
    • 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold
    • 35 and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
    • 36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
    • 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
  • Call To Worship – Philippians 1:12-14 ESV
    • 12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
    • 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
    • 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

    • 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
    • 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
    • 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
    • 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
    • 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
