Whose approval do you seek? In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabus experience a shift in the crowds, who go from praising their arrival to criticizing them and throwing them out of town. From this, we learn we can’t control what others think about us or the message we bring, but we can show up well and point back to God. How can you lean in to knowing you’re loved by God, pointing your heart back to Him and pointing your feet toward His work?

How often do you go alone? In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabus show us how much better it is to go together. When they encounter challenges and painful adversity, they allow their minds to be shaped by God, remembering to go where they’re welcome and stay in the fray to help people know Jesus. How can you show up for others, personally, technologically, and prayerfully?

Have you ever shared good news in a place you were welcomed in? In Acts 13, God made Paul and Barnabus the light to the Gentiles and many even became believers. So how can you share the gospel where you’re welcomed?

What languages do you speak? In Acts chapter 13, we see that even over hundreds of years, the message of the Gospel never changed even when the language did. What does the Gospel sound like where you are?

Have you ever changed someone’s mind? In Acts chapter 13, Paul and Barnabas were sent out by the Holy Spirit and changed the mind of a governor into becoming a believer. Where could you be an influence this week?

When was the last time you had to wait for something that took a long time? Across the Book of Acts, we see followers of Jesus practice being with the Holy Spirit as they gather, worship, pray, fast and take time to wait and hear what He has to tell them. Where do we need to shift our own rhythms, so we can create space to be more attentive to the Holy Spirit today?

What should we do when we hit a wall in the middle of our path? In Acts 8 and 11, we see a man named Barnabas and  his friends encounter several walls that they could given up on, but instead they see how to continue and not just give up. So how can we turn our “can’t because” into a “can if?”

As image-bearers of God, what do we do with freedom? Romans 6 invites us to be free from sin and choices that wreck us. All the while, Galatians 5 encourages us to be free for the sake of others, bringing them to Christ. When you've experienced freedom in Jesus, how can you serve others in love by how you live?

How do image-bearers live in a government that isn’t perfect? Romans 13 states God’s intention for the government’s role to punish what is wrong and to promote good, but also reminds us that its authority is delegated authority. So as we look through our lens of the government on Earth, what should we start, stop, or maybe change to look more toward God as image-bearers?

Are we created in the image of our human father or God our Father? Well, both. Often, we let our image of “father” shape our image of God. As we are adopted into God’s family, what could happen when we let our image of God shape our image of fatherhood?
