Sunday Small Groups

Yesterday our youth small groups discussed Pentecost. This event recorded in Acts 2 marked the beginning of the new community of believers soon to be known as Christians…Christ-followers.
Over the past few weeks we have learned about the foundation of the church…Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God; about the purpose of the church…to make disciples; about the strategy of the church…we get our power from the Holy Spirit, we are to be witnesses for Christ, and we are to start at home and work outwards to the rest of the world; and about the fact that sometimes we have to obediently wait for God to work…just as the apostles waited for the Holy Spirit to come.
From here our small groups will begin to look at the characteristics of the early church. We will carefully evaluate to see if our youth ministry possesses these same characteristics and what we can do to more closely follow the model that was set for us in the early church.
I encourage you to read through the first few chapters of Acts. Make a list of the qualities of the early church and have conversations with your teens about what it must have been like to be a part of this new community.
