About WestWay:

Our mission is simple: we want to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord. We're growing in three ways: our unity, our purpose and our love. This happens because of the power of the Holy Spirit. God is glorified. Lives are changed. People grow in their relationships with God and with others.

Summary:

This week, we’ll join churches all over the world who are celebrating Pentecost. In Acts 2, the promised Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and their next move was to boldly proclaim the Name and Person of Christ.

This same Spirit dwells within each follower of Christ, and our next move is to boldly proclaim the Name and Person of Jesus.

We'll be talking about Acts 2 and Romans 8:11.

For background on Pentecost, read Leviticus 23:15-22. To learn more about the role of the Holy Spirit, spend time reading and reflecting on chapters 14-16 in the Gospel of John.

Leviticus 23:15-22

Acts of the Apostles 2:1-47

Romans 8:11

Additional Questions for Your Family, Small Group or in a Bible Study:

<b>Read John 16:1-15.</b><br><br>In the NLT, you'll find the word <i>Advocate</i> used in verse 7. The concept here is:<br>- One called in for support, helper, consoler<br>- A legal term, one who speaks in a person’s defense and provides legal counsel<br><br><b>John 16:8</b> tells us that the Advocate comes to do three things. What are those things? How have you experienced the work of the Advocate in these ways?<br><br><b>John 16:9-11</b> give greater detail on those three things. <br>- What is the world's great sin?<br>- How does Jesus going to the Father equal righteousness?<br>- What does it mean that the ruler of the world has already been judged? When did this happen?<br><br>What did Jesus mean that his disciples "couldn't bear" all he had to tell them in verse 12?<br><br><b>John 16:13-14</b> tell us several additional things the <i>Spirit of truth</i> will do when he comes. What are those things? How have you experienced the work of the Spirit of truth in these ways?<br><br><b>Read Acts 2:1-11. </b>Why did God send the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles?<br><br><b>Read Acts 2:12-36. </b>How would you characterize Peter's message? What was he hoping to communicate?<br><br><b>Read Acts 2:37-41. </b>How did the people respond? Have you responded in this way to the message of Jesus? Why/why not?<br><br><b>Read Acts 2:42-47. </b>This is the fruit of the message and the response. What role are you playing in your church to express the reality of the Holy Spirit living within you? <br><br><b>Read Romans 8:11. </b>The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead was sent to the apostles. Their response was to proclaim the message of Jesus.<br><br>And, that same Spirit is dwelling within you. How are you faithfully proclaiming Jesus?
