Sermon for the Watford church of Christ, 13 September 2020

1. The Desk of Devotion
Devoted to God:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42 NIV11) - modelled after the culture Jesus established.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Colossians 4:2 NIV11)
A Christian is professionally curious
Not a burdening curiosity, but a liberating one, an exciting one, a stimulating one.
What does devotion to God mean to you?

But, how does this devotion develop, mature, spread……?

2. The Piano Room of Perseverance
Perseverance: Acts 2.42
proskartereo: to persevere in; to be close at hand
Sometimes not fun
Devoted to one another - “Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.” (Romans 12:10 NIV11)
philostorgos - devoted, loving, good-natured
