Acts 2: 42-47 Our passage today gives us the DNA of the church: how to start, how to finish, and all of the in-between have one direction and goal in mind.

2 Corinthians 8:1-15 As was the case with Zacchaeus, when we come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, it should change our hearts to give up all of ourselves in order to serve him. Paul reminds the Corinthians of their vow to do the same by referencing the church at Philippi, who gave even though they were very poor. If they could do it, so should we.

2 Corinthians 7:1-13 We have all done things that we regret and would like to go back and change. Paul lets us know in our passage today that this grief (or regret) can take us away from God, or toward Him. But if we know Jesus, he has taken away the sin that causes it and it's already gone.
