Monday – Gospels and Acts

Reading – Acts 21

Highlight Verse:

“When we returned to the ship at the end of the week, the entire congregation, including women and children, left the city and came down to the shore with us. There we knelt, prayed,”
‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭21‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What struck me here was the fact that the entire congregation came down to the shore.

It wasn’t just the elders.

It wasn’t just the most involved people.

The entire congregation.

When was the last time you saw an entire congregation come together for anything outside of Sunday service?

I can’t think of a single time.

When I attended a tiny country church in the hills of southwest Virginia, we came close for picnics and such.

And I was impressed with the hundreds of volunteers at our Harvest Fest last week.

But these people were seriously dedicated to each other and to God and the teachers God brought to them.

What would it be like everyone in our congregations showed the same level of commitment to each other and God?
Where have you seen that level of commitment?
