What’s an Acts 2 Community?
When the early church began, followers of Jesus were given very clear instructions. Go to Jerusalem and wait there. They were simply encouraged to pray and seek God. In the beginning of Acts 2, Holy Spirit comes in power. His power was demonstrated in tongues of fire, speaking in different languages, boldness and clarity in Peter’s message, people crying out asking how they could be saved, and literally thousands of people putting their faith in Jesus on Day 1.
What followed was the beautiful description of the early church. The Acts 2 Community had nine rhythms of expression. There was teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, healing, generosity, gratitude, worship, and invitation.
So what is an Acts 2 Community? It’s a group of people who regularly gather to focus on living out the nine rhythms with Jesus at the head and empowered by the Holy Spirit. It’s the way Jesus followers all over the world practice their faith. It’s living out the simple and beautiful words of Acts 2:42-47.
