Devoted to the Means
Acts 2:42-47: Christ’s means—teaching, fellowship, supper, prayers—bring blessing: awe, provision, joy, even suffering. Purposes: care for saints, save sinners, glorify God. Devote to these; expect growth, trials, transformation. Simple obedience advances Kingdom. Lord adds daily!

Devoted to the Prayers
Acts 2:42: Devoted to “the prayers”—corporate seeking of God. Early church, weak amid empires, clung to Christ’s promises and power. We, self-reliant West, must kneel in dependence. Prayer moves heaven’s hand. Prioritize gatherings: Sunday 10am, Wednesday nights. Without it, we fail. Pray, church—God answers!

The Regretless Death of a Regretful Life
2 Chronicles 21: Jehoram wasted godly inheritance, murdered brothers, followed Ahab’s evil, built idols. Ignored Elijah’s warning; lost all—family, health, kingdom. Died in agony, unmourned, buried dishonorably. Live regretless: repent, glorify God, think heavenward, use inheritance. Eternity awaits—choose wisely!

Devoted to the Breaking of the Bread
Acts 2:42: Devoted to breaking bread—the Lord’s Supper. Christ proclaims His death visually: body broken, blood poured for sinners’ costly atonement, yet fully paid. We participate by faith in forgiveness, cleansing, unity. Prepares us for marriage supper of the Lamb. Weekly foretaste creates longing: “Come, Lord Jesus!” Eat, drink, rejoice.

Devoted to the Fellowship
Acts 2:42: “The fellowship” is the visible manifestation of the invisible church—Christ’s kingdom breaking into darkness. We belong by union with the triune God, partaking baptism & supper, loving brethren, forsaking world/flesh/devil. Devote yourself here: humbly unite, serve weak, give generously, gather faithfully. The world knows Christ by our oneness.
