INTRODUCTION
  • What was your favorite thing about the baptisms this weekend?

STUDY  [tap on scripture to read]

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Acts 1:1-5 
  • If you were trusted to pass the story of Jesus onto the future of humanity, what are the most important pieces of the story that you would make sure to include and why are those so important?
  • Which part of Jesus’ story has had the biggest impact on your life?

Not every detail of Jesus’ life is chronicled in the pages of Scripture.  We have been gifted the details that are necessary to come into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and to grow in that relationship daily.  For each of us, certain aspects of Jesus' life have been of significant impact.  Those pieces of Jesus’ story tend to be what we return to most often in times of contemplation or difficulty.  They are also what we are most likely to speak often as we brag about our amazing God to others.


HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Acts 2:1-13
  • If you were to be trusted to tell a new culture that had never been exposed to Christianity  (1) Why does the Church exist, and  (2) What is it like to attend and be a part of the Church… How would you answer?
  • How has being a part of the Church impacted your life?

Attending church is a blessing.  Engaging with the Church is impactful and encouraging.  Representing the Church in our daily lives is humbling and challenging.  Praise God for the privilege and honor that is being a member of his Church!


APPLICATION
  • Who are you praying for an opportunity to tell them about Jesus and invite them to Church this week?
  • Who have you not seen at church in a while that you can reach out to this week and check on?


PRAYER
Pray that God would draw you toward new aspects of Jesus’ story as you read Scripture this week and challenge you to participate in and represent his church in bold ways.
