The book of Acts is not just history — it is a picture of what the church looks like when the Spirit of God is unleashed, and it raises an uncomfortable question: why don't we look more like this?
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Jesus's promise in Acts 1:8 — 'you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses' — links the Spirit's coming directly to witness and mission. How has the Spirit's presence actually made you bolder in your witness?
2.Acts 2:42–47 describes the early church as devoted, generous, glad, and growing — and doing all of it daily. What part of that picture feels most different from the rhythm of your own church community?
3.Chan points out that the early church 'turned the world upside down' (Acts 17:6) not through political power or sophisticated programs but through the spread of the gospel person to person. What does that model say to the church today?
