Moving Ahead – Homegroup Life: The Fellowship of the Believers “ 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. … 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. … 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:42-47 NIV) Unity in Diversity “He handed out gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher to train Christ’s followers in skilled servant work, working within Christ’s body, the church, until we’re all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God’s Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ.” (Eph 4:11-13 The Message)
