Community | Acts 29 | Pastor Rob Koke | Shoreline Church | Sermon

The book of Acts ends in chapter 28 with Paul boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God—and then it stops. Why? Because every generation is called to continue the story. That’s where we come in.

In this new series, Acts 29, we’re exploring what it means to live out the mission of the early church in our world today. Part 1 is all about community—because while your relationship with Jesus is personal, it was never meant to be private.

When God saves you, He saves you into a family. The early church in Acts 2 showed us a way of life marked by devotion, fellowship, generosity, and love. And the same is true today: if you want your faith to flourish, you need to be planted in community.

about this message
Community isn’t optional in the Christian life—it’s essential. In Acts 2:42–47, we see the very first believers devoting themselves to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and generosity. And the result? Miracles, joy, unity, and love.

In this message, we learn four steps to living in true biblical community:

1. Choose to belong
2. Learn to share
3. Partner with each other
4. Love each other like family

Faith grows stronger together. When we gather in community, our fire burns bright.

key scriptures:

Acts 2:42–47 – “They devoted themselves…”
Psalm 92:13–14 – “Planted in the house of the Lord…”
Romans 12:10 – “Be devoted to each other like family.”
