Joel Baker // Acts 9: 19-31 CSB

Community Group Discussion Questions

1. The Power of a Transformed Life

  Saul’s life changed dramatically after encountering Jesus. What is one area of your life where Christ has noticeably transformed you, and how can your testimony encourage others?

2. New Desires in Christ

  Following Jesus often changes what we value most. What are some desires, priorities, or pursuits that God has been reshaping in your life?

3. Called to Purpose, Not Comfort

  Paul faced suffering and opposition soon after his conversion. How do you respond when following God’s call leads to difficulty rather than open doors and easy success?

4. The Need for Community

  Even Paul, God’s chosen instrument, needed the support and protection of other believers. Why is it tempting to try to follow Jesus alone, and what are the dangers of doing so?

5. Being a Barnabas

  Barnabas advocated for Saul when others were skeptical of him. Is there someone in your life whom God may be calling you to encourage, support, mentor, or help connect to the church community?
