ACTS: Connecting the Dots
What does it take to build a healthy, thriving church? In this message, we explore the four commitments that shaped the early church—learning God’s Word, worshiping together, building authentic relationships, and praying faithfully. Discover how God connects us to Himself and to one another so that, together, we reflect the face of Christ to the world.
Matthew 18:20; Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 5:11-12; 10:24-25;
