Today we are continuing our series, “We the Church.” One of the things that we see about the early church was that it had a powerful impact on its community. One of the verses in the book of Acts points out that the first church enjoyed having the favor of the people. In other words, even those who were not believers had a great deal of respect for the early church. The church members demonstrated an attitude that was inviting. The first Christians demonstrated a generous attitude toward one another, and generosity is infectious. This sermon title is, “We the Church: A Generous People,” from Acts 4:32 – 37.
