Week 8: One Community: Sharing Among Believers

Day 1
Acts 4:32-37

Sharing isn't natural. No one has to teach a child to be selfish with his toys. That trait just comes naturally to him. But it applies to teenagers and adults as well. So how do you figure 3,000 people voluntarily selling their possessions to help other people? When the Spirit of God moves, we discover how the Spirit provides all we need--including a family of parents, brothers, and sisters to help us through life. Recognizing God's provision, Barnabas gladly chose to sell his land to aid the church. Would you be willing to do the same with your stuff? Our culture is selfish; it's time we challenged the status quo by loving each other sacrificially.

Do you believe God will provide all you need--even when you help others?

Do you truly love the people in your church?

What are some ways you can serve the people in your church this week?
