Going through the bible book by book, chapter by chapter we often don’t have time to hear all the comments and questions we individually have as we approach the text.  However, we can use this space to continue the conversation amongst ourselves and anyone else interested by our posting of comments.  Moreover, I want to pass on the questions that I personally prepare each week for discussion in our group and personal study and reflection of the chapter.

Here are last Sundays for Acts 4:

  1. (v.11) Why does Peter compare Jesus to the capstone (cornerstone) of a building project?  What exactly is Jesus the capstone of?  What does this mean for you?
  2. (v.16-17) After witnessing such a miracle of God why do the Jewish leaders still try to cover it up?  How are we sometimes like the Jewish leaders today?  How do we sometimes try to cover up truth, even as Christians?
  3. This portrait of the early church as an unselfish community is captivating and inspiring.  How do we, in our time, respond as they did in theirs?
    • How do we speak boldly?
    • How do we bring healing and miracles in God’s name?
    • How do we join together with one heart and mind?
    • How do we relinquish our possessions?
I’d love to hear some of your thoughts in regards to these questions!
