Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

Finishing with Acts 4, a picture is painted of the generous spirit in the early church. Although people had their own possessions, they didn't regard them as such, and shared willingly with those who were in need. This was a large number of people as a majority of the new believers in Jerusalem were "out-of-towners," having come from other areas to celebrate the Passover. People shared out of love and not compulsion. An example given was that of Joseph, later called Barnabas, who sold a field and presented all the proceeds to the apostles for use as needed.
