The earliest followers of Jesus didn’t just gather once a week—they lived their faith together. In Acts 2:42–47, we glimpse a community formed around grace: studying Scripture, sharing meals, praying, and caring for one another so that no one was in need.

In this episode, Tim and Sara explore what it means to build a grace-filled community today. They remind us that community isn’t optional for followers of Jesus—it’s the context where faith is practiced, forgiveness is learned, and love takes shape.

You’ll hear how the early church’s rhythms of prayer, fellowship, generosity, and devotion reveal a pattern for Christ-centered leadership in every generation. Together, Tim and Sara discuss: Why practicing community is a spiritual discipline that requires intention and grace. How transformation happens through reflection, not just information. What koinonia—true Christian fellowship—looks like beyond coffee and donuts. How Wesley’s class meetings built structures of care that nurtured spiritual growth.

A real-life story of a church embodying grace through radical hospitality and compassion. Grace-filled communities aren’t perfect—they’re prayerful, patient, and generous. They make room for God’s Spirit to transform lives in ordinary ways: over a meal, during prayer, or in a conversation that brings healing.

Key takeaway: Grace turns inward faith into outward action. When we practice grace in community, God multiplies it—one act of love at a time.
