Community as Home – Acts 2:42-47

Community is not just a program or a preference, it is the very method God uses to shape and transform us. The early church, as described in Acts 2, models a way of life that is both beautiful and challenging. Rather than gathering around shared interests or life stages, the people of God gather around a shared need for the gospel and a new identity in Christ. This kind of community is not easy; it requires courage to be known, to depend on others, and to allow ourselves to be changed. Fear often keeps us from opening up, but the life we long for in Jesus is rooted in courage, not fear.
