Where do you live? The better question is how do you live? A real life is a genuine life-a life lived to its fullest. A life not lived alone, but in a community with others. The Christians of the book of Acts lived in a community. They needed to trust one another, love one another and encourage one another in a difficult environment of persecution. Today Christians have the same need to live in a community with others LIVING THE REAL LIFE looks at the qualities of that community found in Acts 2:42-47 in twelve in-depth studies, which include: 1) BAPTISM, 2) TEACHING, 3) FELLOWSHIP, 4) PRAYER, 5) MIRACLES, 6) UNITY, 7) GIVING, 8) WORSHIP, 9) ATTITUDE, 10) PRAISE, 11) COMMUNITY, 12) OUTREACH (with a Bonus THANKSGIVING session as a wrap-up). Each study gives your own small group an opportunity to evaluate and look deeply at how you are doing biblical community. Great for individual groups or entire churches who desire to live intimately as the early church did, loving, caring, sharing and praying for one another. So gather your small group...Bible study...life group...and find out what it REALLY means to live life together.
