Recap: In this series we’re looking in the book of Acts and studying the movement of following Jesus that began 2000 years ago and has spread all around the world. As we do, we’re learning what this movement means for us, for our church and what are part in all of this is. Any great movement is a grassroots movement, and you have a part to play as we share the story of God one life at a time.

(1) What kind of stories impact you most and why?

(2) When have you felt like you were a part of something bigger? What was that and why do you think you felt that way?

(3) In the book of Acts we read about the spread of the movement of following Jesus. This movement had the deck stacked against it, but still spread around the world. On Sunday we said that an event almost always sparks a great movement. Why would the resurrection of Jesus carry such power in this movement exploding?

(4) Read Acts 1:1-9. What does Acts 1:8 say about the game plan for the spread of this movement?

(5) What do you think your Jerusalem looks like?

(6) From Acts 1:8 - How can you be a “witness”? What do you think it means that you have “power”?

(7) We said that this is all very global – a global movement; but it’s also very personal – we all know people who need the hope and life that Jesus offers. How can you be a “dealer of love and grace” to those people this week?

PRAYER: Dear God, thank you for Jesus and for this movement that started 2000 years ago and that I get to be a part of. Help me to be your witness of your story, and a dealer in love and grace. Thank you for what you are doing in my life, and help me to share that hope and life with others. Today, I especially pray for . . . who needs your love and grace in their lives. Show me how to point them to you. Amen.
