Acts 9:32-43

The apostle Peter was traveling to different towns teaching the Scriptures to the believers there.  These believers were meeting together regularly and were committed to being involved in each other’s lives.  The instructions that Peter was giving them, which we can get a sense of from his letters, would have impossible to follow apart from living in community with other believers who knew each other well enough to know what each other was going through and struggling with.  As Christians we need to understand that it is impossible for us to grow in our relationship with Christ if we are not in a group of believers who are involved enough in each other’s lives to be praying for, encouraging, and when necessary confronting each other.
