Acts chapter 1

At our next Home Group we will be doing Chapter 1 of Acts.

In this chapter Luke recaps the end of his former book, retelling of Christ's final statements to His disciples and of His assent into heaven.

So concepts that are noteworthy and worth contemplating are:

• We read that Christ gave instructions "through the Holy Spirit," what role did the Holy Spirit play in Christ's ministry?
• Though Christ is said to have spoken with the disciples about the Kingdom of God, it also seems from verses 6-8 that the Kingdom was in someways still to come.
• The disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. 
• What was the significance of the Holy Spirit to the disciples? 
• In what ways is that same Spirit significant to us? 
• Should we wait on the Holy Spirit? 
• What does that look like?
• Could Christ's command to the disciples to minister to Jerusalem, Samaria and the ends of the Earth have any application for us today?
• After seeing Christ being taken up into heaven the Apostles sit and stare and are reprimanded for this. How does this comment on the "Act"ive nature of this book? 

We will be talking about these and other ideas as we study the first chapter of acts at out home groups on Sunday and Tuesday nights. We hope to see you there, but why wait to until then? If you want to start talking about these things now, just leave a comment.
