Some questions based on Acts 1:1-11

Here is the sermon these questions are linked to: The ascension… So what?!

  1. Do we know anything about who wrote Acts and to whom it was written, and why? if so what, and does it matter much?
  2. What do we know about the time that Jesus spent with His disciples during that period of 40 days after the Crucifixion (from this account and others)
  3. What do the disciples mean by restoring the kingdom? (cf Ezekiel 38ff, Isaiah60ff, Matthew 13, Revelation 19ff)
  4. How far away did Jesus go, and why did He have to go?
  5. What does the bible tell us about Christ’s return and the significance of the Mount of Olives?
  6. How does a good understanding of the ascension help us in our Christian walk?

Up against it!

If you’ve not picked up the sermon on this passage yet, you can find it here – UP AGAINST IT!

We’re looking at Acts 4: 1-22.

  1. When did this account happen? As a group sketch out a rough timeline between ‘Good Friday’ and this account.
  2. What do we know about the characters mentioned in this description.
  3. Can we learn anything about how the authorities were dealing with the resurrection of Jesus, and how they were explaining it?
  4. Discuss healing. Does God always heal, never heal or sometimes heal today, and why does He do it, or not…?
  5. There were a lot of brief points thrown out in the sermon, which were considered helps for us today. Can you recall any? Or list a number of your own as a group?
  6. After discussion, spend some time in prayer focussing on the persecuted church, and our own situation as people called to be “Salt & Light”
