Day 26 :: Rare Elements

Acts 2 

Transformed in Community: Engaged

Karen Malek, Director | Preschool Ministry

The title in my Bible in Acts 2:42-47 refers to this passage as “the fellowship of the believers.” The current term might be “our community;” those with who we are close to, where we share the same beliefs, interests and goals. In the passage in Acts we see the believers together teaching one another, praying, helping those in need, breaking bread, praising God with glad and generous hearts.

We too should have this same community in our life that special group of believers who want to love and serve Jesus, grow in spiritual maturity and support one another. In order to do this we must be engaged in a community, a Bible Fellowship class a place where we can live out Act 2 with one another. Having that group where we can grow, learn and be joyful in what God has blessed us with. There is a longing today for people to be in this kind of community.

Have you found your place, are you fellowshipping with other believers not just on Sunday morning but during the week lifting one another up, encouraging one another. Are you inviting others that long for this kind of fellowship to come and join? Engaging in a community can transform not only those believers in the community but others around us. At the end of the passage in Acts the Bible tells us that “the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
