Louis Bridgman traces the birth of the early church in Acts 2:42–47, showing how the Holy Spirit formed a devoted community marked by apostolic teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer. He emphasizes that this vibrant togetherness, generosity, and public witness was not driven by human effort but by the living presence of the Holy Spirit. Finally, he calls the modern church to the same Spirit-dependent devotion, humble love, and Christlike unity, even amid imperfection.

He highlights four marks of such a life: expecting opposition for righteousness, speaking with Christ-centered authority, remaining obedient under pressure, and pursuing unity and prayerful dependence within the church.
