resulting responses
One of the things I love about
scripture is that it is true and speaks on so many different levels: history, philosophy, logic, sociology,
education, economics, health, ethics, law, theology…
How unfortunate that reading the
Bible is sometimes regarded as a duty, simply to be performed, rather than
writing to be engaged which has power to transform! The early Christians had Old Testament
scriptures, and eyewitness testimonies with which they engaged. We have that record here in Acts. Though our starting places may be different,
are the results?
1. What behaviors result in one who truly receives
the gospel?

2. What attitudes result with a true
understanding the gospel?
_____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________
3. What are some resulting responses of those
observing from the outside?

Going
through Acts is a wonderful challenge to
reflect upon our own beliefs and traditions, and their impact on the world
around us.
4. In what ways does your current faith
community reflect the devotion and commitment of the early Christians of Acts?

5. In what ways would you personally like to
grow to be more like the early Christians Luke has written about? _________________________________________________
