Questions for week Sept 28th - Oct 4th

I Am New
Baptism


1) Just for fun: Is there a significance to your name?  (Were you name after someone in your family, etc.)

2) Read Acts 8:26-40. What role did the scripture play in the Ethiopian’s conversion? What role did it play in yours? Was there a particular section of scripture that the Lord used to awaken you to your need for salvation?

3) Why do you think God sent Phillip to the Ethiopian? Does God still send people to help others understand the scripture? Has God ever used you like he did Phillip?

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

5) How much time do you think passed between the Ethiopian’s conversion and his baptism? What lessons do we learn about baptism from the Ethiopian?

6) 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?
