SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:
John 20:19-26; Acts 1:3-9, 2:1-8, chapters 3 & 4; Ephesians 1:17-20; John 8:30-36; 2 Timothy 1:7-8; 2 Peter 1:3; Hebrews 10:24-25
REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: Do you think of yourself as a brave person? What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done?
Q: Agree or Disagree: “As people of faith, we come from a long line of cowards.”
Q: Do the guys in Acts 3 and 4 sound like the same people who were hiding in fear in John 20? What made the difference in them?
Q: The Bible says that those who follow Jesus are FREE- from sin, trying to please God by keeping the rules, etc. Do you feel free? If so, how do you make sure that your freedom in Jesus honors him instead of turning into permission to sin? If you don’t feel free, what could you do to live into what God says is true about you?
Q: If God doesn’t give us a cowardly or timid spirit, where do those things come from? What can we do about that?
Q: After being threatened, Jesus’ friends go find other disciples to pray with. Together they are filled with power (see the end of Acts 4). Who is there in your life that encourages you and helps you stay bold about your faith? Who do you do the same for?
