Digging deeper
How would you describe church based on your own experience?
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
Acts 2:42-45
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:46-47
How does this description differ from your view of “church”?
Key idea
This group of believers gave up everything they had to build a
new home together!
So what…
How does this affect my view of myself and my peers?
Tool time
Key idea
Church is more than a weekly meeting; it’s a spiritual
family.
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
1 john 4:19-21
Key idea
The Church should be the place where we go to hold each
other up.
