Everyone longs for belonging, purpose, and a life that matters. In Acts 2, we are given a picture of a Spirit-filled church—not perfect, but transformed. A family formed by Jesus, shaped by the Spirit, and lived out together in devotion, generosity, and joy.

REVIEW: A Spirit-Filled Church is grounded in God’s Word.

READ: Acts 2:42 –
“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship and breaking of bread.”

DISCUSS: Why is devotion to God’s Word essential for spiritual growth? What helps—or hinders—you from allowing Scripture to shape your daily life?

REVIEW: A Spirit-Filled Church is committed to authentic spiritual community.

READ: Hebrews 10:24–25 –
“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together as some are in the habit of doing.”

DISCUSS: What makes spiritual community difficult at times? How has being known, supported, and challenged by others helped you grow in your faith?

REVIEW: A Spirit-Filled Church lives with radical generosity.

READ: Acts 4:32 –
“All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, but they shared everything they had.”

DISCUSS: How does generosity reflect trust in God rather than fear or scarcity? Where might God be inviting you to loosen your grip on time, resources, or comfort?

REVIEW: A Spirit-Filled Church becomes a powerful witness.

READ: Acts 2:47 –
“All the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”

DISCUSS: Why does a joyful, loving community make Jesus compelling to others? How does your everyday faith point people toward Christ?

ASK

Are you settling for attending church—or are you willing to be formed as part of God’s family?

PRAY

Father, thank You for adopting us into Your family through Jesus. Shape us by Your Word, unite us through Your Spirit, and teach us to live with generosity and joy. Use our lives together to make Jesus known and to build a church that reflects Your heart. Amen.

INVITATION TO RESPOND

This week, take intentional steps toward living as part of a Spirit-filled church family:

• Devote yourself to Scripture: Choose a daily rhythm of reading and reflecting on God’s Word.
• Move toward community: Join a group or re-engage relationally instead of staying isolated.
• Practice generosity: Give time, hospitality, encouragement, or financial support with joy.
• Live as a witness: Let gratitude, love, and faithfulness shape how you represent Jesus.
• Come to Jesus: If you’ve never trusted Christ, begin today by placing your faith in Him and receiving new life.
  
  

The Spirit-filled church isn’t something we attend—it’s a family we belong to. Come to Jesus. Receive new life. Join His family.
