We pray that this Word that you're going to hear is going to bless you, inspire you and just draw you closer to Jesus.

This year it's a love revival and I've been speaking on Devoted and I am in my third part of Devoted to Fellowship.

Fellowship, what is fellowship? It's like family, it's relationships.

We have a church family, that's a fellowship.

You have a home family, that's a fellowship.

You have relations and friendships.

So I've given nine points, so I'm gonna go to 10.

and the body builds itself

Let's get ready and prepare our hearts to receive His wisdom and guidance now to this week's podcast.

The other week I preached a sermon which I have 17 points to and I only got to four.

So I'm going to do some more today and then next week I'll do some more.

I've been speaking on devoted and And in Acts 2, the Bible says they devoted themselves.

What do they devote themselves to? The apostles' teaching.

What's that? That's the doctrine and the vision of the church.

They devote themselves to fellowship.

hello.

We do hope that this message inspires you and stirs your faith.

So I wanna speak to you out of Acts 2.42, they devote themselves to fellowship.

Everyone say fellowship.

It is amazing to me that Pastor Jason talked about this at conference, men's conference, and I had no plan of doing a devoted series, but it is where it is.

So Ephesians chapter four, verse 15 to 16 says, but speaking the truth in love.

Notice it says, you know, some people wanna speak truth, but they don't do it in love.

Tone matters.

I said, oh, okay, okay, okay.

And my other grandchildren, now what you see here, my son-in-law and my daughter, who's pregnant with fourth baby.

And...

You know, when you are a grandparent, you understand that, you think that when your children leave and the red envelopes stop, because they're now supposed to give red envelopes.

I discovered as a father, my red envelope is bigger than any envelope ever because now I have grandchildren and I have children and they still ask for money.

And we're okay to give them money.

Sam is the most generous to our grandchildren.

pastor.

Let's get ready and prepare our hearts to receive His wisdom and guidance now to this week's podcast.

Acts 2, verse 42, it says, All the believers devoted themselves.

Everyone say devoted.

What did they devote themselves to? The apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to sharing in the meals, including the Lord's Supper, and to prayer.

There is something remarkable about the early church.

They had no buildings, they had no sound systems, they had no social media, they had no Bible colleges, they had no budgets, no influence in government, yet within one generation, they turned the known world upside down.

So they must have had a secret.
