Practice Gathering: The Scriptures
Pastor Andrew Schmidt continues a new sermon series called, “Practice Gathering”. This series focuses on Acts 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” This week focuses on how the early Christians in Acts devoted themselves to gathering together and listening to the Apostles teaching, with emphasis on The Scriptures.
Sermon begins at about 49 minutes (this Sunday we welcomed new elders, so the sermon started later in the service than usual).

Things To Remember:
When the church was birthed in Acts followers of Jesus met together every day to keep their relationship with God vibrant. Why do we as Christians think we can meet together so much less often and still remain true to Him will all of our heart?
Followers devoted themselves to the apostle's teaching which was first and foremost 1) the good news of what Jesus had done for them through his life, death, resurrection and ascension 2) the call to repent or turn to Jesus to receive forgiveness and the Holy Spirit.
If we seek to get closer to Jesus others will follow.
