Acts 2:42-47
Recap:
What did you take away from Acts 2:22-41 (in last week's sermon or Connect Group Study)?
What encouraged you or challenged you as we celebrated baptisms on Sunday?
In parts 1&2, we read about the Holy Spirit’s arrival, the disciples speaking in other languages, and Peter preaching a powerful sermon. 3000 people became Christians that day! Let’s read about them and the other disciples, and the community they formed in the weeks and months that followed...
Read Acts 2:42-47
How is their church life similar to ours?
How is it different?
Which of these practices do you find most inspiring or rewarding in your own experience of church? Why?
Which do you find most difficult or challenging? Why?
Why do you think they decided to do these together?
What is important to you about living the Christian life with others?
Which elements of church life do you think produced "the favor of all the people," resulting in the daily salvations of others who are being added to their number?
Do you think our way of doing church together produces this same outcome? Why/why not?
Brainstorm together:
What elements of church life could you be more involved in?
What elements of church life could we seek to grow in as a connect group
What elements could we seek to grow in as a church?
Just like in Acts 2:42, we have devoted ourselves to the teaching of the Apostle Luke here in Acts, we have fellowshipped together, we have broken bread together - so now let’s spend a good time praying for one another!
You might want to pray for these things:
For each person to overcome their personal challenges in living in Christian community
For this group to grow together as we help one another to grow as disciples
For our church as a whole to grow in devotion, awe, sharing with each other and praising God together
For those who are outside and looking in, that they would look upon NVBC with favour, and be drawn in and saved and added to our number daily
