Building Godly Relationships: Lessons from Early Church Fellowship

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day study on Relationships, inspired by the early Church’s vibrant fellowship recorded in Acts 2:42–47. In these foundational days of the Christian movement, believers demonstrated a radical and awe-inspiring model of community that reflected God’s heart for connection and unity.

Relationships formed the core of the early church’s identity. Their devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer brought about transformative life changes, deep intimacy, and abundant generosity. Through their example, we see how relationships rooted in Christ can foster genuine love, accountability, and joy.

Every day we encounter opportunities for relationship—whether family, friends, coworkers, or new acquaintances. Yet, navigating these with grace and godliness requires wisdom and intention. This study invites you to explore key principles from the early church’s fellowship that can shape your approach to every relationship in your life.

As we look closely at Scriptures and reflect on God’s design, we’ll challenge ourselves to embody unity without uniformity, serve others selflessly, and cultivate a Spirit-empowered community that bears witness to God’s kingdom here on earth. You’ll be encouraged to deepen your relational roots and reflect Christlike love in tangible ways.

Let us open our hearts and minds to be inspired by the first believers’ example as we journey through this study. May their devotion and life together teach us new ways to love, support, and grow alongside one another in Christ.
