“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”

How to use this
21 days in the early church.
This three-week plan walks through the book of Acts — the story of what happened when ordinary people, filled with the Holy Spirit, became the church. It’s the story that shapes everything we’re trying to be here.
Read one chapter a day for twenty-one days. As you go, keep asking one question: what did the church look like before it had buildings and programs — and what would it look like to live that way now?
Each day, journal what you read
The S.O.A.P. Method
S — Scripture
What verse grabs your attention?
O — Observation
What did this mean to the original audience?
A — Application
What does this mean for you now?
P — Prayer
Write a prayer based on what God is saying.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses.”
