Questions for week July 26th - Aug 1st

Bold Obedience

1) Just for fun: If you could be in the movie of your choice, what movie would you choose and what character would you play?

2) How did God speak to you through this sermon?

3) Read Acts 5:18-29. In this passage we learn that bold obedience releases God’s power in our lives.  The Apostles were boldly obedient to preach the word and God used them to heal people, do miracles, and even set them free miraculously while in prison.  How has God unleashed His power in your life when you have stepped out in bold obedience?  Are there some areas where you are struggling with being obedient?

4) Many people believe that if you are obedient to God you will not face persecution or hard times, such as relationship problems, job loss, social persecution, or health problems.  But scripture plainly teaches this is not the case. Pastor Mark made this statement- When God gets ready to do something great through you, you can count on great opposition coming to you. How does that statement make you feel in light of what John 15:20-21 says?

5) Read Acts 5:27-29. The Apostles say it is better to please God than man.  Do you find this truth difficult to implement in your life?  For example, are you often disobeying God out of fear of what others may think?

6) The Apostles were able to be obedient because of their faith in God.  In contrast, we read in Hebrews 3:19 the people of Israel were not able to enter into God’s promise because of their unbelief which led to their disobedience.  Is unbelief preventing you from bold obedience to God?  If so in what way?
