Questions for week Sept 29th - Oct 5th

Going Public

Baptism

1) Just for fun: What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

2) If you have been baptized, share where and when you were baptized and what it meant to you.

3) Read Acts 8:26-40. What role did the scripture play in the Ethiopian’s conversion?

4) Why do you think God sent Phillip to the Ethiopian? Has God ever used you like he did Phillip? Who is your “Ethiopian?”

5) What questions did Phillip ask the Ethiopian? How could you rephrase those questions to share Christ with someone today?

6) What lessons do we learn about baptism from the Ethiopian?

7) Read Matthew 28:18-20. Why is baptism part of our mandate to make disciples and teach them to observe Jesus’ commandments? What would you say about someone who claims to be a follower of Christ yet has no intension of being baptized?

8) Read Rom. 6:3-11. How many times do these verses reference “death”? Who’s death? How is dying symbolic of our conversion to Christ? What dies when we are saved? What do you do with an old man who dies? How does baptism picture this process?
