The Book of Acts tells the story of how ordinary people, empowered by the Holy Spirit, became part of a movement that changed the world. In this series, we’ll rediscover how the early church learned to reach the one, equip the growing community, and send disciples to live and share the hope of Jesus wherever God placed them. As we walk through Acts together, we’ll see how God is still reaching, equipping, and sending His church today which includes all of us.

Reflection Questions:
When you think about the word church, what has shaped your understanding of it more a building, an experience, or a community of people? How does Jesus’ use of ekklesia challenge or reshape that understanding?
Acts 2 shows the early church experiencing togetherness, empowerment, misunderstanding, and transformation. Which of these do you see most clearly in your own faith journey right now, and why?
The Holy Spirit empowered the early church not just for personal growth, but to be a blessing to others. Where might God be inviting you to become more of a blessing for others?
What fears or hesitations do you feel when it comes to living out your faith openly, and how does the Spirit promise to help us respond differently?
Acts 2 doesn’t just show us what the church did, it shows us who the church became. If these four experiences shaped the early ekklesia, how do you sense God shaping us as a church to influence our community today?
