Just as people are different from each other, likewise churches are different. They differ in focus, priorities, leadership, doctrine, demographics, preaching, music, worship style, and so forth. The second chapter of Acts is one of the great chapters of the Bible. Someone once stated: “Everything before
Acts 2 looks forward to it, and everything after Acts 2 looks backward to it.” Near the end of the chapter, we are given a portrait of a beautiful fellowship of believers in Christ. What made their fellowship so dynamic and contagious? Analyzing the text carefully, we discern no less than eight building blocks that played an important role in them “having favor with all the people” and “their number increasing day by day.”
