Community

Acts 2:46-47

⁴⁶Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

I'm struck with the profound simplicity of this verse that pastor used on Sunday. This is how the early church created community. They lived life together. That's it. They went to church together and they ate food together and somehow their message of Jesus spread and became an unstoppable movement that has lasted some 2,000 years. Movements are built on community. The Civil Rights movement would not have happened without a community of people that decided to stand up and say racism is wrong. Our country would still be under English rule if a community of people had not stood up for our independence. Movements are built on community and community is built on relationships. This is our simple goal at MCAG to build relationships that birth a community that starts a movement that changes our world.
