MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR HERO AND SAVIOR

ACTS 5:17-32

1. Read 5:12-18.  Discuss how the outside world seemed to view the early Christians.  Why do you think v. 18 happened?  Are there any parallels in our world?

2.  

   Put 5:19-26 into your own words.  Would you have had the courage to go right back into the temple to teach the gospel if you had been the early Christians?  Why do you say this?

3. In 5:27-32, we have the famous statement from Peter that We must obey God rather than men.”  What is the context of that statement?  In what situations might this principle apply to you?

4. What is the main point that Gamaliel made in 5:33-39?  Would you have been convinced by his words?  Why?

5. Read 5:40-42.  Notice that the disciples rejoiced that “they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.”  What possibly could account for a person feeling that way?  Do you agree with the disciples?

6. What do you hope to apply to your life from this study?
