This week, Dave Blow continues in our series about the early church with a message about what it looks like to life in community. The early church lived in a radical sort of community. What should ours look like?

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

Home Church Questions:

1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching?

2. Read Acts 2:42-47 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you most about the picture of the early church in this passage? What do you find inspiring, surprising, or challenging about the way these believers lived together?

3. The early church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Which of these practices comes most naturally to you? Which one would you like to grow in?

4. Dave suggested that authentic community requires honesty rather than perfection. Why can vulnerability be difficult in church settings? What helps people feel safe enough to be genuine?

5. Shared meals played an important role in the life of the early church. Can you think of a time when hospitality, a meal, or a simple conversation helped you feel welcomed, encouraged, or connected?

6. The early Christians were known for their generosity and concern for one another. What does generosity look like beyond money? How can we be more attentive to the needs of people around us?

7. If someone observed our church community today, what signs of Christ-like love would they see? Where might God be inviting us to grow?

8. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.
