Title: Why You Should Commit To Community (2)
Series: Resolved
Author: Craig Smith
Text: Acts 2:41-47
So I'm gonna break one of my own rules today. I'm gonna, I'm gonna preach from a passage that I actually taught on just about a year ago, and I don't usually do that. I usually try to wait, six or seven years before I repeat a passage. But I'm gonna preach on the same passage and there's a couple reasons for that.

You know that, right? You know that I love you and it's because I love you that I'm gonna say this. Some of you heard it, but you didn't do anything with it. Okay. You got the information, but you didn't experience any transformation because you didn't pursue any application. Okay. And when ...
