Text: Acts 2
SCRIPTURE: Luke describes a pretty memorable scene in this chapter. Verses 1-13 explain what happened and verses 37-47 help us understand the context. Read these passages in The Message and talk about the consequences of that event for both then and now.
The scene described is a reason to celebrate. Verse 46 says, ”…every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God.” We can also celebrate the fact that other nations and other languages are clearly included in God’s plan to save the world.
ACCOUNTABILITY: Is my worship celebratory? If someone is watching me, is it obvious I am celebrating?
We talk about God the Father and Jesus His Son. But the Holy Spirit isn’t talked about as often. Why do you think that is?
TRANSFORMATION: Can you name a time when you knew the Holy Spirit was present in your life? Was it when you needed comfort or the right words to say or a peace that was impossible to muster on your own?
What can happen when we pray for the leading and presence of the Holy Spirit in specific situations?
