Life can be hard and messy. Without a lifeline, it is easy to get overwhelmed and buried in all of the chaos. The early church was devoted to gathering. They recognized if they were going to survive, they needed a lifeline. That lifeline came by gathering, linking arms, and leaning in. In this 5-day plan, we explore the lifelines of the early church and how they help us today.

Acts 20 is all about saying goodbye. How do we face it and do it in Christ? This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! God’s goodness is something that goes beyond human understanding! God’s grace is the same—for every one of us. Love helps people move forward. As we bless others, we begin to experience that blessing ourselves!
