Opening Questions:
1) Share something exciting or challenging going on for you that we do not know about and how you are choosing hope?
2) What “new relationship” are you following God’s leading to try to develop where you live, work, learn, and play?
Text Questions:
1) Acts 10:9-23 What is something that you were legalistic about before, but you have biblical freedom to enjoy now? Or that you are abstaining from now for biblical reasons?
2) Acts 10:24-43 Is there a time you called together family or friends to hear the Gospel as in verse 24? Or a time you deflected praise from yourself and honored God as in verse 25?
3) Acts 11:1-10 Have you seen some Christians having trouble embracing other Christians from different backgrounds instead of being united with hope? How have you seen unity with diversity glorify God?
4) Acts 11:11-18 Anyone who repents of their sin and accepts Jesus as their only hope for eternal life is “baptized with the Holy Spirit.” How does it make you feel that God accepts and indwells you?
5) Acts 11:19-30 Barnabas means “son of encouragement.” Christian means “follower of Christ.” How are you encouraging someone to follow Christ as Savior and Lord?
6) Acts 12:1-10 When did you choose hope and join your church in “earnestly praying to God for” someone?
7) Acts 12:11-19 Peter was certain God “rescued him” and he described “how the Lord had brought him out of” trouble. Share a time you think God delivered or protected you.
