IN THIS LESSON

DISCOVER THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO WILL ACCEPT AND LOVE YOU.

Read Acts 2:42-47

As you read this scripture consider how the first christians lived their life. At Anthem we believe you were created for community. This means that gathering in connect groups, services and events are essential for you to live as you were designed. 

Take a moment to respond to the following questions.

The Christian understanding of God as the trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) means that God is a community. If you read Genesis 1:26-28 you will see that God created us in His image. This means we were created to live in relationship. 

God doesn’t want us to live as isolated individuals. When He brings us nearer to Him, He also brings us nearer to one another. 

Community begins with God. God is a community of three persons and invites us into His divine community to enjoy friendship and fellowship with him through His Son Jesus Christ.

Take a moment to pray

Father God, thank you for making me like you. Help me to find and experience healthy relationships in my life. Give me wisdom to change the relationships that are having a negative impact on me and connect to those who will help me live more like you. In Jesus name, Amen.
