SCRIPTURE: Acts 20-21

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. In Acts 20:22-24, Paul says he is “captive to the Spirit” and knows persecution awaits him in Jerusalem… yet he continues anyway. What might this teach us?

  2. The sermon contends that Christianity isn't about “outside-in” behavior modification but rather “inside-out” transformation. What's the difference between these two approaches to following Jesus? 

  3. In what areas of your life might you be focusing too much on external behaviors rather than internal transformation?

  4. How does Paul's journey (particularly the way he handles the disagreements about what the Spirit is or is not calling him to do) demonstrate the difference between unity and uniformity in the Christian community?

  5. How do you typically handle disagreements with other Christians about important spiritual matters?

  6. The sermon identifies three key elements in Paul's life which contribute to his Christlikeness: radical humility, compassionate community, and being enraptured by the Gospel. Which of these do you find most challenging? Why?

  7. How might a shift from asking “What Would Jesus Do?” to “Who Does Jesus Say I Am?” change our approach to Christian living?

  8. What aspects of your identity in Christ do you struggle to fully believe or embrace?
