How to Live by Faith: Coming Together Like the First Christians

Note: Please watch the previous three videos in this series if you have not done so already.

Many people are asking about the next step in learning how to live by faith. In this video, we'll look at the example of the first Christians, who took the meaning of "home church" to a whole new level. There's no better way to overcome hypocrisy in our lives than living together and sharing with others, like we read in the acts of the apostles.

This is video #5D in the Teachings of Jesus Series.

What is "A Voice in the Desert"?

A Voice in the Desert is anonymous. Its purpose is to point people to the message, rather than the messenger. Most modern day prophets promote themselves more than the teachings of Jesus and the true message of Revelation. A Voice in the Desert challenges that error and more. Some of the things you hear on this channel may be difficult to understand, and may offend you. The goal, however, is to sweep away dogmas and traditions to reveal what Jesus actually taught.

We have recently opened our videos up for comments.  However, the comments are all moderated; they must be approved before they will appear.  Please be patient, as this could take a few days if I am busy with other things.

Here are some guidelines if you would like to have your comment approved:
1.   Keep it short. This rule is partly to help YOU.  People simply will not read long, rambling posts.
2.   Keep it relevant. (See also #3 & #4.)  Relate what you are saying to the video you are commenting on, or to something said by the person to whom you are replying.
3.   No sermons. If you want to preach, do so on your own channel.  This is a forum for discussion. 
4.   Bible references: Say enough to indicate what the passage says, but major on sharing how you think it relates to the topic. Try to avoid chapter and verse references on their own.
5.   Rudeness will not be tolerated.
6.   No links. This is generally seen as trying to drag people away from this channel to some other channel or site.
7.   One point at a time. Many different arguments in the same post do not allow time for two sides to be heard on a single point. Share your best argument (or two), and see what happens.
8. Misinformation based on so-called Internet "research" that is not supported by credible evidence will be deleted.

‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ Matthew 25:23

Thank you for making YT videos, Voice. You show the truth when no one else will.

It's definitely easier to live a Godly life when surrounded by brothers and sisters that are doing the same

Where do we find a "humble, Honest, Obedient", Spirit that Hungers for the Truth"? only one place. Children, until the world gets hold of them. " People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them but Jesus called the children to him and said,  “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Ok, I’m ready to live in community, but one of the members said I couldn’t join because I have debt on a home.

But you have another video on debt in which you said to just walk away from it and forsake all as it is written?
Btw do you guys have a group in Israel? Gonna move there and go it alone if I can’t join I guess. I can’t keep my life, when it is written (6 times) that you will lose it, if you do (para phrasing) thx -Jacob

How can I convict Christians of there normal believes withouts sounding like, "You aren't Christian! Even though you served him your entire life you have not forsaken all!"
Every time I try I feel like I'm doing the biggest slap in the face high horse statement you can ever say.
