In this episode, Bradley shares the importance of invidual and communal prayer and worship, to experience the fullness of your faith in Jesus Christ.All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.(Acts 2:42-47)Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour?(Mark 14:37)To partner with Vessel in fulfilling the mission of reaching the lost, and empowering the Body of Christ, through the podcast and fitness evangelism head on over to www.VesselMission.orgFollow:@We_Are_Vessel@BradleyCross47
