First steps
🏡 You’re part of a family
24Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24–25
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. When you trust him, you’re joined to his people, the church. It’s a family, not a building or a meeting.
Families are imperfect. You’ll meet people you click with and people you don’t. That’s part of how God grows us: we learn to love, forgive and be forgiven.
Come on Sundays as often as you can. And try to find a smaller group where people will know your name and pray for you.
Read Acts 2:42–47
42They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer. 43Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44All who believed were together, and had all things in common. 45They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. 46Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 47praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
