What We Have in Common | Sermon by Elder Akin Thomas
In this powerful and deeply challenging message, What We Have in Common, Elder Akin Thomas takes us on a revelatory journey through Acts 4:32–35 (NKJV), uncovering God’s design for unity, stewardship, and kingdom community. Through Scripture, he contrasts different mindsets toward work, worship, and wealth, exposing how belief systems shape both our spiritual lives and our collective strength as believers.
From the Garden of Eden to the early Church, we see that God’s intention was never endless toil, oppression, or scarcity. Instead, we were created to tend, steward, and thrive together. Elder Akin Thomas challenges us to examine whether we are living with a poverty mindset, a rich mindset, or a true kingdom wealth mindset rooted in purpose and generosity.
This message will shift your perspective on work, money, unity, and worship, helping you understand what the Body of Christ is meant to share in common and how we move from isolation to divine alignment.
