In the sermon this past Sunday we looked at the portrait of Biblical community described in Acts 2:42-47. The believers of the first church were fully devoted to the principles of Biblicalcommunity: Biblical teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer. These early Christians had all things in common. Their common faith in Jesus created a common rhythm for living life according to a common system of priorities. Rather than living for themselves, they consistently and faithfully shared life together along with giving their possessions sacrificially and generously. As we see in Acts 2, the mission of Jesus is the natural outpouring of a community living in devotion to Him and His people. Biblical Community begins and ends with mission. Are there things in your life that are cluttering your schedule in a way that is preventing you from fully engaging in Biblical community? What action step can you take today to become more engaged in the Biblical community at Solid Rock?
