This study came as a follow-on to the  study in Colossians that ended in love, and then Jesus’ instruction in John 13.  Though we cannot attempt to recreate the setting of the early church, we can at least look at them and learn from their example as a group of new Christians responding without precedent to the Holy Spirit’s direction.  Acts 2 describes their characteristics and then shows the results of their behavior.  Wow!

All of the previous three lessons are a great preparation for beginning a book study on Do Love, A Love Hack’s Path to Spiritual Maturity, by Dr. Andrew Rankin.
