“In 2022…Storage facilities are a $38 billion industry, one of the surest business investments in America, with an annual growth rate of over seven percent. In 1984, there were about 6,600 self-storage buildings in the nation. Now there are approximately 50,000 such facilities in the U.S. (900 per state), with a combined storage capacity of 2.3 billion square feet. In other words, every one of the 340 million Americans could simultaneously find a place to stand inside one of the nation’s storage facilities.” Clay Jenkinson, governing.com.

Acts 4:34-35 NIV
C. How can we be like the early church?
1. The early church pinpointed needs. Do we?
2. The early church repented of extravagance. Do we?
3. The early church gave what was needed. Do we?
“Everything is His (God’s). This means we are accountable before the Lord to look after our “neighbor” with whatever He gives us. God does not need the assistance of a government institution to redistribute wealth/resources. This responsibility lies with His stewards—you and me (the church).”
Dr. David Jeremiah
Bottom Line: When we know Jesus, we dedicate our lives to love.
To begin a relationship with Jesus…
