At Central we want to provide the questions that will be looked at in group before you head to your group. Each week this is where you will find the questions and some prayer requests.
If you are not yet in a group and are interested in joining a group, please send us an email to info@cbcyorkshire.com.
Welcome back to Group. At Central we believe that small group is an essential part of our walk as we grow together in community. If you have been a part of group please be reminded of our “empty chair” philosophy of growth, and if you are not yet involved know that the empty chair is for you!
Acts: The Gospel In Motion
Pastor Ben Phillips
Text for the week: Acts 8:9-25
Question 1) Pastor Ben shared from the outset of his message that it was important to remember that God is the judge. Why is it important to remember that truth?
Question 2) We’ve heard the phrase, “The book of Acts is descriptive, not prescriptive.” several times throughout this study. What is that phrase referring to? Why did Pastor Ben feel it was important to remind us of that phrase as he walked through this particular passage?
Question 3) What could be the reason that the Holy Spirit hadn’t fallen on the Samaritan believers? (Answer: Possibly God wanted to show Peter and John that salvation really was for the Samaritans as well.) Why was that so important?
Question 4) Pastor Ben wasn’t concerned about arguing over whether or not Simon was truly saved. What was he most concerned about? (Answer: Are you saved?)
Question 5) The point of this message was not to make you doubt whether or not you are truly a follower of Christ. With that in mind, what was the point of this message and what’s one thing that you can do this week as a response?
