Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section? Engage: Look into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon. Read Acts 19-28 together as a group and discuss your initial observations. Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word. In what ways has God ‘broken you and put you back together’ for a purpose vastly different than you had imagined, and how are you embracing that new calling? Discuss the change in the crowd’s attitude towards Paul and Barnabas between verse 18 and 19. Why did things change so quickly? How does Paul’s willingness to return to the cities where he was persecuted challenge our modern understanding of commitment to Christ and the Great Commission? Verse 22 stated that “through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” How does this biblical reality contrast with popular teachings about comfortable Christianity? What does the appointment of elders reveal about God’s plan for church leadership? Is this a benefit you recognize and take advantage of in your own life? Phud used the famous lines of Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech as a closing analogy. Do you currently see yourself as more of a “fan” or a participant in the arena of fulfilling the Great Commission? How can you get more involved? Respond: Choose one or two of these applications from Sunday’s message to put into practice this week. -Take one intentional step into the arena of the Great Commission by sharing your faith, inviting someone to church, or engaging a spiritual conversation this week. -Pursue the spiritual care God has provided by seeking prayer and counsel from a pastor or elder about a burden you are carrying. -Strengthen someone in the body facing hardship by personally encouraging them to persevere in Christ through a call, visit, text, or note this week.
