I Have Many in this City

*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 18:1-17 together as a group and discuss your initial observations.

 

Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word.

 

  1. What do verses 1-5 teach us about the relationship between ordinary work, Christian friendship, and gospel ministry?

 

  1. Paul initially reasoned with the Jews, but when they opposed him, he said, “Your blood be upon your own heads!” What does this reveal about both Paul’s responsibility and the responsibility of those who hear the gospel?

 

  1. Reflect on the comments in the sermon on experiencing the nearness of God. Why do you think the statement “I am with you” was so central in God’s promise to Paul?

 

  1. What is the difference between being responsible for someone’s response to the gospel versus being responsible to share the message faithfully?

 

  1. Why does God’s sovereign choosing in salvation serve as an engine for evangelism rather than an excuse to sit back?

 

Respond: Choose one or two of these applications from Sunday’s message to put into practice this week.

 

  • Serve Christ with othersby intentionally serving alongside another believer this week rather than trying to serve Jesus alone.
  • Speak about Jesusby having at least one intentional gospel conversation with an unbeliever this week.
  • Prioritize God’s gloryby giving at least 60 minutes this week to serving, discipling, evangelizing, or participating in church ministry that points to the glory of God.
  • Trust God’s presenceby responding to fear or discouragement this week by praying through Acts 18:9–10 and remembering that Christ is with me.
  • Trust God’s sovereignty in evangelismby praying for three unbelievers by name and intentionally looking for an opportunity to speak with each one about Christ this week.
