Week 15 — Abiding Together | Alex Spry | Acts 2:42–47 | April 19, 2026
Tension: Private faith vs. shared life
Formation Outcome: Devoted community
Grounding Questions
• What is the difference between attending church and belonging to a spiritual community?
• Why is shared spiritual life sometimes difficult to sustain?
Expanded Teaching
Acts 2 describes the early church’s devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Their shared life was intentional and consistent rather than occasional.
Spiritual growth was never meant to happen in isolation. Their generosity, unity, worship, and hospitality became a visible witness to the surrounding community. Their community life itself became evangelistic as the Lord added to their number daily.
Group Discussion Questions
• Why is devotion stronger than participation?
• How does shared spiritual life strengthen individual faith?
• What practices help build deeper Christian community today?
