The Mission - Acts 2:42-27

Luke, the writer of the book of Acts, described the early church as they met from house to house;  Luke writes, ". . . and everyone kept feeling a sense of Awe."  (Acts 2:43)

How did all of this 'Awe' come about?  The secret was Small Groups!  Small groups are an integral part of the church.  Luke unfolds each element of this life-changing dynamic in Acts, chaper 2, verse 42:

• Bible Study "... and they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching"
• Fellowship  "... and all those who believed were together and had all things in common"
• Breaking of Bread  "... taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart"
• Prayer  "... and [continually devoting themselves] to prayer."

 As the church gathered in homes for encouragement and equipping they were strengthened in their mission to transform the community by the grace of God.  Home Groups continue to be a place of equipping and encouragement today as we experience the transforming power of Christ through His church.

So, when was the last time you felt a sense of Awe? You can become part of a Home Group and experience some awe in your life.
