Opening
What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?  

Summary
Read Acts 4:1-12
The Temple strikes back. In response to the preaching of Peter and John, all the powerbrokers of Jerusalem are assembled against them. But Peter and John, instead of collapsing under their intimidation tactics, boldly proclaim Jesus as the only saviour.  

Discussion Questions

  1. What do people today find most offensive about the gospel?
  2. What do we learn about unbelief from the temple leaders in contrast with the crowds?
  3. How can opposition to Christian faith actually help it flourish rather than die?
  4. What does Peter’s courageous defense tell us about the Holy Spirit?
  5. How can we present the exclusivity of Christ in a culture committed to tolerance?
