My Thoughts on the Last Class...

My thoughts on the last class session begins with the scripture reading and reflection of Acts 2:42-47. This passage really gives us a glimpse of the heart of the first church and how unselfish and giving they were by selling what they had so everyone's needs were met. Earth was clearly not their home. I also found it interesting to learn about the house churches and how the leader of the house had such a significant and powerful influence on not only their house but the community surrounding it. The book of Acts shows us the Acts of the first church and how the Holy Spirit falls on all who seek him and does not discriminate based on race or gender. We can also see how things were a bit free and organic in the beginning with Church leadership and became more and more formalized as time went on.
