Homothymadon- United, in togetherness as one, with one mind (Acts 2:1 & Acts 4:24)

• In Acts 2:1 when it says “one accord”, the Greek word is “homothymadon” which means “with one mind, with one accord, with one passion.” Blue Letter Bible gives a beautiful description of the use of this word here: “A unique Greek word, used 10 of its 12 New Testament occurrences in the Book of Acts, helps us understand the uniqueness of the Christian community. Homothumadon is a compound of two words meaning to “rush along” and “in unison”. The image is almost musical; a number of notes are sounded which, while different, harmonize in pitch and tone. As the instruments of a great concert under the direction of a concert master, so the Holy Spirit blends together the lives of members of Christ’s church.”
• There are 3 principals behind true Christian fellowship:

1. Our fellowship is grounded in the testimony of God's Word
2. It is mutual, depending on the unity of believers
3. It is renewed daily through the Holy Spirit
