THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Acts 2:42--47 (C); Acts 2:14a, 36--41 (RC)
Luke describes the nature and functions of the apostolic church. Here is an idealistic description of the very first church. Unity was the primary characteristic. They were one in holding to apostolic teaching. They so loved Christ and each other that they had fellowship and shared all they had with each other. The first church was a happy one as they prayed and worshiped together. New converts were added daily as they were received by baptism. At this time Christians found favor with all the people.
