*NOTICE: The emphasis of our discussion is to see how the Written Word (Bible) and the Spoken Word (Preaching) work together to build up the believer, so when you see WORD in the questions, know it refers to the Scripture and the Sermon.

 

Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life.

 

  1. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section?

EngageLook into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon.

 

  1. Read Acts 11:19-30 and discuss your initial observations.

 

Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word.

  1. Why do you think teaching was such a central part of the Antioch church’s growth?

 

  1. How does the Antioch church model unity between Jewish and Gentile believers?

 

  1. What dangers arise when churches emphasize evangelism without teaching, or teaching without evangelism?

 

  1. Generosity in Acts 11 was measured not by the amount given but by giving according to one’s ability. How does this biblical definition of generosity challenge or encourage your current approach to giving?

 

  1. If people observed your life closely, what would make them identify you as a Christian?

Respond: Take some time as a group to discuss the eight marks of Christ people and then commit to one or two specific actions:

 

  1. Obedience to God’s Purpose: Identify one place you’re “scattered” and pray about how to sow gospel seeds there
  2. Preaching Christ: Initiate one conversation about Jesus with someone this week
  3. Holy Spirit Power: Before sharing your faith, pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to prepare hearts
  4. Turning from Sin: Identify one area where you’re living like the world and take steps to turn to the Lord
  5. Remaining Faithful: If you’re struggling, share with someone in your group and ask for accountability
  6. Discipleship Community: Commit to attending church/small group consistently for the next month
  7. Generosity: Give sacrificially to a need in your church or community this week
  8. Heart for Nations: Research a missionary your church supports and pray for them daily
