Effective Bold Evangelistic Fervor

*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 the passage from Acts 5:12-42 as a group and discuss your initial observations.

 

Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word.

  1. In what ways can meeting people’s physical needs open doors for gospel conversations, and how can we ensure mercy ministry doesn’t become an end in itself without spiritual proclamation?

 

  1. How does the statement ‘it is not great talent God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus’ challenge our cultural emphasis on giftedness and skill in ministry?

 

  1. Peter’s gospel presentation included direct accusation of sin (‘whom you killed’)—how do we balance speaking truth boldly with speaking it in love in our evangelistic conversations?

 

  1. The apostles rejoiced after being beaten and immediately returned to preaching—what would it take for you to have that same response to persecution or suffering for Christ’s name?

 

  1. If Christians are characterized by obedience, as the sermon states, what does your current pattern of obedience or disobedience reveal about the authenticity of your faith?

 

Respond: Choose one or two of the following applications of Sunday’s message and commit to it/them this next week.

  • Identify one person in your life with a physical need you could meet this week, and pray for an opportunity to share the gospel with them.
  • Examine your life for areas of compromise that might hinder your witness. Confess and repent, asking God to make you more like Christ.
  • Memorize Acts 5:29 – “We must obey God rather than men.”
  • Practice sharing the gospel using Peter’s outline in verses 30-31 with a Christian friend this week.
  • Pray specifically for boldness to share the gospel despite fear of rejection or persecution.
