Northgate Community Church

Acts 10 & 11

Individual: Reflect, journal, pray

Who might be the people you find "impure" as we read about in Acts 10:2-29--the ones with whom you don't want to associate? How does seeing the Gospel spread, beyond where it "should" & Pete's response here change your outlook.

Discussion: Call, facetime, zoom

Within your faith walk or secular life, have you ever done something expecting criticism for it, but confident that you knew that you knew it was the right thing and that you were supposed to do it? (11:1-18) How did you feel during and after, whether or not the criticism came?

Action: Go for a walk

Walk around your neighborhood, or if you have to get groceries and look at all the people that don't look, like you, don't think, eat like you? This was Peter with Cornelius. Spend some time praying for those people (10:44 & 11:18) to find the Holy Spirit.

Acts 8 & 9

A lot is happening in this new church. Good news spreads from Jerusalem to Samaria (gasp!) and beyond. Oh yeah, and a little guy named Saul shows up. Here are some questions to process the materials.  

Individual: Reflect, journal, pray

Have you ever believed something entirely, and passionately only to realize later you were dead wrong? About a person, "They're great and honest!" only to later be betrayed? or "They're the worst!" to see they humbly served you? If so, what changed your mind? How did your new view change your behavior, life?

Discussion: Call, facetime, zoom

How do you see Jesus at work to redeem this "scattered" world in which we live? Create a list and revisit it when you're anxious, or fearful.

Action: "Stand Up" for someone else

Post below YOUR last week's movement of the Holy Spirit. Where have you seen him moving, his fingerprints, felt his presence. Not someone else's story, yours.

 

 

Acts 6 & 7

Today Pastor Miles covers Acts 6 & 7.  The story of Stephen being called to be a deacon, and the wildly passionate defense he has before the Sanhedrin of his works in Christ's name.  Christianity's first martyr welcomed into the throne room by the man he so defends.
