The Passage
Acts 2:42-47, ESV

"And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."

Talk It Over

1. Icebreaker: What’s the best meal you’ve ever shared with a group of people?
What made it memorable?
2. Read Acts 2:42-47. What stands out to you most about the early church?
3. The early believers were devoted to God’s Word. What does devotion to
Scripture look like in your life?
4. Biblical fellowship means more than just showing up to church. What are some
ways we can deepen our relationships with other believers?
5. Worship was a daily part of their lives. How can we shift from “Thursday Nights”
or “Sunday worship” to everyday worship?
6. What role does prayer play in your life? What’s one way you can grow in bold
prayer?
7. The early church lived with an expectancy of God’s power. Do we expect God to
move today? Why or why not?
8. Generosity was a defining mark of the early church. How can we cultivate a heart
of generosity—both financially and in serving others?
9. The early believers were joyful and praised God daily. How can we maintain joy
in the ups and downs of life?
10. Acts 2:47 says God added to their number daily. Who is someone you can pray
for and invite into a relationship with Jesus this week?
