Acts: Lighting the Fire

In Acts 2 we see God lighting a fire that He perfectly prepared and organized to accomplish His will. The fire is the Church, and it changed the course of history.

Acts 2:1-3 (NLT) 1  On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2  Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3  Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them.  

Acts 2:43-47 (NLT) 43  A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44  And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45  They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46  They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47  all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
