Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back over all twelve apostles, whose portrait most surprised you? Was there someone you had written off as unimportant or uninteresting who became unexpectedly meaningful? What did you discover?
2.MacArthur's central thesis is that God consistently uses ordinary, flawed people for extraordinary purposes, so that His power rather than human ability gets the glory. Has this study deepened, challenged, or changed your understanding of how God works? In what specific ways?
3.Which apostle did you find yourself identifying with most personally — and which one made you most uncomfortable? What do those two responses tell you about yourself?
