In today's sermon, we took a deeper look into the Gospel rhythms of everyday life in the early Church. Acts 2:42-47 captures a beautiful and challenging picture of the rhythms necessary to living life with one another in Biblical community. At the dawn of the Church, the believers were devoted to spending time together on a regular basis. They worshipped together weekly and spent time in one another's homes on various days throughout the week. They were able to meet each other's needs because they were available and present. Like the believers in the early Church, we are called to live life in the rhythms of Biblical community, spending time together consistently and intentionally. We can't worship together if we aren't meeting together, can't grow together if we aren't spending intentional time together, and can't meet each other's needs if we aren't available. In order to experience the kind of Biblical community that marked the early Church, we need to be willing to go against the grain of current cultural pressures and make sacrificial decisions that create margin in our lives. When we do this, we are able to truly share life with one another in Biblical community.
