Acts 2:40-42
The Voice
Just as God raised Jesus from a decaying body, Peter holds out hope for God to liberate those who follow Him from their decaying culture.

42 The community continually committed themselves to learning what the apostles taught them, gathering for fellowship, breaking bread, and praying.
