Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What four things do the believers devote themselves to, and what does God do as a result?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Which of those four is weakest in your group right now?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What will you do this week to strengthen that one — and when?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you invite into this group's life, not just its meetings?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Father, the first believers ate together, prayed together and held their possessions loosely. Make us a community like that, and add to us.
