COMMUNITY

The New Testament Church—The Essence of Fellowship

As Christians, we were intended to live in fellowship with one another. Christian community is at its best when believers’ lives are connected in the common bond of Jesus Christ through a local church.

In Community, students will study the story of the New Testament Church, its miraculous inception at Pentecost, and its spread throughout the world. Not only will students learn the history of the New Testament church, they will also learn their roles as members of the modern day Church.

What does the Community Bible Study cover?

Using the Book of Acts as its backbone, Community covers many moments in the life of the New Testament Church, including:
  • The Holy Spirit’s coming at Pentecost,
  • The true sense of community among the early Christians,
  • Jew/Gentile controversies,
  • Paul’s conversion, missionary journeys, imprisonment in Rome, and epistles,
  • Peter’s leadership and letters,
  • John’s revelation on the island of Patmos.
Along the way, students will become familiar with such important figures as Timothy, Barnabas, Lydia, Priscilla, Aquilla, and many others.

What can your students get out of it?

Your students will be exposed to the remarkable story of the New Testament Church in a variety of ways. As you journey throughout the year, your students will be challenged to learn with their heads, their hearts, and their hands.

Your students will constantly be challenged to learn about the early Church with their head—to learn what they need to know about the Church. This type of learning is all about a basic understanding of Scripture. But students will be challenged to go beyond simple understanding, moving to application of what they have learned.

Your students will also be challenged to learn about the New Testament church with their hearts—to allow God to transform their feelings as they look at His Word. What your students know about the early Church members should affect them emotionally, not just mentally; they should learn to value the things of God.

Occasionally, your students will be challenged to learn with their hands—to learn what they should be able to do as a result of their study of Community. Students will be able to apply a specific skill or discipline after studying the New Testament Church.

Your students will be better grounded and more engaged in the life of the church community as a result of this life-changing study.
