Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God...
Acts 2:46-47 NIV
They went to church (every day!)
They ate together!
Good things happen when we go to church together. God can get to us in ways He does seem to in other places.
And when we're having dinner together, we learn from each other, share each others stories, hold each others hurts, find solutions, forgiveness, healing...
Community.
People.
Gods people.
Glad :)
Sincere.
Real.
If Jesus wasn't in church, or walking with people, he was having dinner with them...or inviting himself to dinner.
How hard is the christian life? Just get to church and have dinner together!

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
