What Does Devoted Even Mean?

Strong toward something

The Devoted Church · Session 1

Teaching Points

  • 1

    The early church did not stumble into community by accident. They made a decision to remain committed to teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer.

  • 2

    The Greek word proskartereo carries the idea of being strong toward something, sticking with it, and holding on instead of treating it as a casual interest.

  • 3

    Devotion is not merely a feeling. It is a decision we keep making, especially when faithfulness is inconvenient.

  • 4

    Acts 2 connects devotion with growth, but the growth belongs to the Lord. Our responsibility is faithfulness to the right things.
