Join the MVMNT: The Church + Jerusalem
WEEKLY: The author of both the Books of Luke and Acts is Luke, an observant, educated, historically-oriented figure and writer.
The book of Luke was given as a detailed account of the life and Gospel of Jesus to fortify the faith of the Believers. Acts is the sequel. We get the first hand account of how Jesus’ Life, Death and Resurrection went VIRAL, eventually spreading throughout the whole globe.
This fall we are going to look at a few of the tools and key elements that sparked this wildfire to see how we can continue that MVMNT here, today.
READ: Acts Chapters 3-6:7
REFLECT:
What are the core elements that contributed to the incredible community life that characterized the Church almost from the moment of it's’ supernatural birth?
What sorts of things took place to sustain their amazing love, generosity, and one-mindedness?
Special needs were there due to Pentecost, and people stayed for months to get trained in their new faith before returning home. Should we expect our churches to experience a similar dynamic community life today?
What seems to be the relationship between the quality of their community life and the effect of their witness?
What sorts of things can begin to eat away at dynamic community life in our churches, as with the Early Church? How do we see this today?
