Acts 2
The Question: What difference does it make?
The Answer: The difference it makes is discovered in the difference we make.
WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN…
Acts 2:42-47 • Acts 4:32-36
1. We make time and space for each other.
2. We live in unity with each other.
Matthew 5:43-48 • John 13:35 • John 17:20-23 • Galatians 3:26-29 • Ephesians 2:11-22

Proverbs 3:27-28 • Acts 5:1-11 • Acts 6:1-4 • 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
It's voluntary, not compulsory.
- Generosity doesn't mean equality.
