Acts 2

I keep finding it interesting that throughout our current Sunday youth study, “Another World is Possible,” we keep falling back to Acts 2.

In this chapter we see the apostles forming the first church (group of Christians). The first couple weeks of our study looked at poverty. When we looked at Acts 2, we focused on verses 44-47. These verses talk about how the early church would take care of those in need so that they “had all things in common.”

Last week, by no plan of our study, we participated in The Village Chapel’s potluck dinner. We remembered Act 2:42. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Each Sunday we listen to teaching and we pray, but this last Sunday we also hung out with each other (fellowship) and ate (breaking of bread). These were the four things the early Christians dedicated their lives to!

Now as I prepare for my lesson this week, I find myself going back to Acts 2. You will have to attend TVC Youth Bible Study to find out why it is coming up again.

The most interesting thing is the lesson is called “Another World is Possible.” It’s a title that sounds like its telling us we can do something entirely new. Yet as we study, we realize it is a plan that has already been made. I guess over time, we have just forgotten the plan.
