Week 2: Community
Acts 2:42-47
A healthy church is committed to God’s Word, prayer, and deep community—marked by generous giving and open-handed living.
LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What is the most challenging aspect of this text for you? Why?
What challenges do we face in imitating this early Christian community?
What is the biggest obstacle between you and deep, genuine relationships with other believers?
Do you think outsiders observing our church would be attracted to the faith by the depth and quality of our relationships with each other? Why or why not?
How might you more fully devote yourself to the study of Scripture (“the apostles’ teaching”) and to prayer?
Prayer prompt: For the church to be an authentic fellowship of believers as we walk together in holiness and love.
Prayer: Father in Heaven, you have called us your children and adopted us into your family (Eph. 1:5). Jesus, we praise you for the privilege of being called your friend (John 15:15). Give us eyes to see one another as one united family in Christ (Psalm 133:1). Help us to be known, and to know our brothers and sisters in Christ deeply. May we look for ways to do good to all, especially those in the household of faith (Gal. 6:10). Glorify yourself in us as we walk in unity and love.
