Acts 2:41-47 - A Generous And Growing Church

⁴¹ So those who welcomed his message were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added to their number. ⁴² The believers continued to devote themselves to what the apostles were teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to times of prayer.

⁴³ A sense of fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. ⁴⁴ All the believers were united and shared everything with one another. ⁴⁵ They made it their practice to sell their possessions and goods and to distribute the proceeds to anyone who was in need. ⁴⁶ United in purpose, they went to the Temple every day, ate at each other's homes, and shared their food with glad and humble hearts. ⁴⁷ They were praising God and enjoying the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord was adding to their number those who were being saved.
