Thousands of years of biblical history led up to the main event: the death and resurrection of Jesus, the promised rescuer. But AFTER Jesus had accomplished his mission, his followers needed to take the first steps that would define their growing community. What we find in the Bible is that this new family of God was made up of people from many nations and backgrounds, learning lessons together about breaking down barriers, dramatic life transformation, and finding new common ground. In this six-week series, we explore stories of this “first family” of Jesus and be inspired to shape our lives after the lessons of connection and unity they learned.

As the earliest followers of Jesus were trying to decide how to keep his movement of love going, they landed on a surprising theme: sharing. They shared meals. They shared their time. They shared their possessions. They shared the journey with one another in order to reach new height of connection and strength. This week we’ll take inspiration from the first family of Jesus in order to become more open and generous ourselves.

The first and most important thing the early followers of Jesus decided to do was WAIT; wait for the Holy Spirit to inspire and motivate and guide them. Though it may have first seemed like inaction, waiting on God resulted in a explosion of growth and miracles. This week we’ll explore the arrival of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the first followers of Jesus, and learn how we can be transformed by that same experience.
