Scripture

Acts 1-4

Icebreaker Question

If you were suddenly given the boldness of a superhero, what “power” would you use to share the gospel?

Questions

  1. What from the message stood out to you, raised a questions, or you found impactful?

  2. Read John 15:18-25 - Give some examples of this truth in the world, our nation, and even in your own circles?

  3. Those afraid of truth try their best to control what is “truth” - How do we see this played out today? In light of this, why does proclamation of the gospel truth bring hostility to the one proclaiming it?

  4. What changed in the disciples lives to switch from self preservation just weeks before, following the death of Jesus, to now, “not being able not to share” - Acts 4:19-20

  5. What obstacles do you find in your own personal life in sharing the gospel. What are some things you do, or you think you could do, to overcome them?

Next Steps

Work towards a plan to overcome the challenges you find in sharing the gospel and take an action step to becoming more bold in sharing your faith and the gospel message with someone.
