Devotion

The early church was devoted.  They didn’t add Jesus on to their comfortable, convenient, self-absorbed lives.  Jesus became the center.  They left everything to follow Jesus.  That’s why they saw great Kingdom advances.  They were devoted.  We will look at the four things they were devoted to, but we need to start by looking at what it means to be devoted.
