Talkback: Discussion Questions & Study Guide (Acts 1:1-11)
Setting the Stage: This week’s sermon launched our series through the book of Acts, which is a continuation of the series we began the Sunday after Easter, “To Be Continued…” In recent weeks, we’ve been on the road with the disciples whom Jesus sent on a bit of a detour before releasing them into his mission. They still had a few lessons to learn before they were released into God’s mission. Well, as mentioned in the sermon, in Acts 1:1-11 unfortunately the detour continues! Acts 1 doesn’t begin with the disciples on the “frontier” but still in the “classroom,” not with the “going” of the Great Commission, but still under the “teaching” of the Great Commission (cf. Mt. 28:16-20). It is clear from this passage that the disciples were still confused on the very subject Jesus spoke most about: the kingdom of God. Jesus will clarify their confusion about the kingdom by zeroing in with laser-like precision on the purpose of the Church and the power he would send to enable them to fulfill that purpose. God’s power does not come apart from God’s purpose, so if we are not experiencing his power in our lives it may be that we do not understand his purpose in our lives.
Looking for Trouble: Whenever you’re reading Scripture, it’s always good to go looking for trouble! In the narratives in Scripture, in particular, conflicts often arise when people are confronted with the truth of God in ways they hadn’t expected or wanted. So conflicts in Scripture are usually fertile soil for God’s Word to root our false assumptions about God, ourselves, and the world. The major conflict in this text can be seen in the contrast between what Jesus was “speaking about” (“the kingdom of God,” 1:3) and what the disciples were asking about in 1:6: “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” So Jesus was speaking about the kingdom of God and they were asking about the kingdom of Israel. That is the tension that gives rise to the discussion questions for ‘Growing Deep’ this week.
Discussion Questions
Growing Deep
Read the following passages in preparation for the discussion: Genesis 12:1-3; Exod. 19:1-6 with a view to God’s two-fold purpose in forming the nation of Israel: transformation by God and communication of God. You will also need to refer to Romans 7-8:4.
In the sermon, pastor Jeremy gave a simplified way of seeing the entire Bible. There is one fundamental problem in the world: sin. God chose Israel in his first step in solving the problem of sin. He gave them his Law, which essentially spelled out how not to sin by way of God’s commands, so that Israel would “be holy, as the Lord our God is holy” (Lev. 20:26).
However, the effect the law had was not that it made Israel holy but revealed what (see Rom. 7)?
What did God do to solve the problem of the Law (see Rom. 8:1-3)?
Based on Romans 8:1-4, what is the role of the Son of God and what is the role of the Spirit of God in solving the problem of human sinfulness?
When you read Acts 1:1-11 in light of the above discussion and questions, what do you think it means to be Christ’s “witnesses” (consider the aspects of transformation and communication of the Gospel)?
Branching Out
Why do you think people struggle to share the Gospel? Fear? Doubt?
Do you think the willingness to share the Gospel has anything to do with the degree to which they have been transformed by it? (See
