As part of our mission statement to connect people with God and others, we desire for people to be known in a way that is not possible in a large gathering.

Connection Groups typically gather on Sunday evenings in homes all over Linn County.

Each Sunday we provide questions based on the sermon to guide a discussion time into deeper spiritual understanding.

If you are looking to connect with others, flesh out the sermon in your own life, and invest yourself with a group of loving believers, Connection groups are for you! Click below to get signed up!

Let’s Team Up!     Acts 2:41-47     January 25th, 2026

1. What do you think makes a group of people move from merely a group to a church? How do you evaluate a prospective church?

2. Read over the text for today’s study. How do you explain the large response to Peter’s message? What did the people do immediately?

3. Why do you think baptism is emphasized as an immediate response to belief? How consistent is this pattern throughout the book of Acts? 8:12 10:47-48 16:14-15 16:30-34

4. Looking carefully at verse 42, what four practices are the believers described as devoting themselves to? How do these all fit together?

5. In what sort of locations did the believers meet? Is there any relevance as to location for believers today?

6. What role does prayer play for the early church? Look at these other texts in Acts. What do you learn from each one, and from all of them collectively? 1:14 4:31 6:4-6 13:2-3 14:23 16:25

7. How does Luke, the author, describe the mood or atmosphere of this new community of believers? What barriers exist to living at this kind of close fellowship?

8. What would contribute to this kind of joy and generosity in our church?

9. How does this passage challenge individualistic approaches to faith? What does it mean to you when you hear the FBC is about “connecting“connecting people with God and others”?
