March 1 | Acts 2 - THE EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY CHURCH

  1. What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘evangelism’? Would you say the word has a positive or negative connotation for you? Why?

  2. Read Acts 2:1-13. What extraordinary events occur in these verses? What significance do these events have in the birth of the church?

  3. Read Acts 2:32-41. In these final verses of Peter’s sermon, what does he challenge the crowd to do? How do they respond? Imagine being one of the disciples during these events. What would you be feeling, saying, or doing?

  4. Read Acts 2:42-47. In the sermon this morning, Robb described these verses as the ‘ordinary rhythms’ of the church after its crazy, catalytic birth (vv1-41). What ordinary rhythms can you identify in these verses which we still practice today?

  5. How do the ordinary rhythms of the our shared life in Christ contribute to the church’s evangelistic effectiveness? In your own story, can you think of people who practiced these rhythms in a way that led you to Jesus?

  6. Spend time in prayer and worship together. Thank God for his work in your life, and pray together for those in your lives who are far from Jesus.
