UNLEASHED: DEVOTION TO WHAT?

All the believers devoted themselves to......................Acts 2:42

Depending on who you are.....what you are devoted to can vastly vary.    Some people are devoted working out.   Others are devoted to their faith.  Some are devoted to their family.  Some devoted to their schools.   Some devoted to a political party or cause....but there is something that each of us are devoted and the real question is what?

These 3000 new believers, had come to know Christ through Peter's 5min sermon that pierced their hearts to the extent that they gave their lives to this new uprising.     They wanted to learn what it meant to live as a disciple of Christ.   They needed to know what does it mean to be devoted as a community.   For the next few days we will be spending time peeling back what it means to be totally devoted to something.  

My guess is that truthfully we already know what it means, because we will pay money to see what devotion looks like.   We will go to sellout sporting events, and concerts to see what does total devotion looks like on a large platform.  We cart our kids off to practice after practice, camp after camp because we desire them to be their best, if not THE BEST.   But what about you......as your kids are watching you........what would they say you mommy, daddy are devoted to?  Can they even say that you are devoted to anything?  Simply put what gets your whole heart, soul, and mind?
