The passage Tyler shared reminds us of how powerful it would have been to witness those events firsthand. So many people experienced the depth of God’s love for humanity through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Thousands responded, and 3,000 were added to the family of faith. But what came next revealed the true power of transformation: a deep devotion to life together. The people were changed, and they longed to be in community with other believers, where the Holy Spirit was actively working. That changed everything. What are you devoted to? Are you committed to the things God uses to grow your faith? Or have you settled for what’s easy, familiar, comfortable, or isolating—things that can lead you back to the very path Jesus saved you from? We harm our faith journey when we either remain disconnected or fail to stay devoted. 

Questions for reflection:
1) Have you trusted Jesus for the rescue from and forgiveness of your sins?
2) Have you lived into the expectation of participating in the gift of community? If so, what's your next step of devotion toward your community?
