Acts Chapter 2, verses 42 through 47 described life in the new community born in the wake of Jesus' resurrection. This community was called The Way. Today we call it the Church.
(a) Many people were joining the faith
(b) The community was characterized by sharing.
(c) People were divesting themselves of personal resources and investing benefits in the lives of others.
(d) Teaching and Learning were central to life together. Followers of Jesus learned about:
--Forgiveness
--What it meant to walk in Jesus' footsteps
-- Love as an action, a way of life
--Healing
(e) They broke bread together, and ate with glad and generous hearts.
(f) They were a community of prayer.
In what ways are these qualities reflected in our church today?
