When It All Started

Sep 21, 2025    Pastor Dan Buchert

In this powerful exploration of the early church, we're invited to rediscover the essence of what it means to be part of God's movement. The message centers on Acts 2, where we witness the birth of the ecclesia - not as an institution, but as a dynamic, Spirit-led community. We're challenged to strip away centuries of tradition and return to the core: Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God. This foundational truth, declared by Peter, becomes the rock on which the church is built. As we delve into the devotion of the early believers, we're prompted to examine our own spiritual habits, our connections with fellow believers, and our commitment to serving others. The early church's unity, despite diverse backgrounds, serves as a powerful reminder of how our shared faith in Christ can overcome all differences. Are we living out this transformative love that even non-believers found attractive? This message urges us to rekindle our passion for God's movement, reminding us that the church is not a building, but a community of imperfect people adopted into God's family.
