Acts of the Apostles Community

Can't we all just get along? No, sadly we cannot. Though communities often start out small with everyone agreeing and holding hands, divisions can come up pretty quickly. The early Christians found this out the hard way. From its humble beginnings gathering in an upper room, the church expands throughout the world, and with its expansion come problems and arguments. Acts is filled with growing pains.
