ACTS 2:44 "And all who believed were together and had all things in common."

On a daily basis, we make decisions to fulfill our commitments to our families, to our jobs, to our society. WHY?
Because these things are important to us and we make them priorities.
As Christians, we need to be making decisions about what/whom is important to us.
We have IMPORTANT PLACES TO BE
>Assembly/Church - Why is it important?
*Heb 10:24-25
-Stimulate one another to love & good works
-Encourage & be encouraged
*Acts 2:42-47
-Part of who/what the church is to be
-Leads to salvation of souls
>Social Gatherings with Christians
*Hospitality (generous to guests - Strong's concordance)
1 Tim 3:2;Tit 1:8; 1 Pet 4:9; Rom 12:13
*Togetherness
Acts 2:42-47 - Fellowship, breaking bread, Wonders & signs for the assembly, had all things in common, selling things for the needs they knew about, assembling together, had favor with all the people
-Promotes
a) Morale through encouragement and strength
b) Comfort (Why do we need to be comfortable with one another?)
