GET TO KNOW YOU:

What is something you were picked for as an elementary aged child?

Do you have an example of when you  were persecuted, mocked, insulted, or rejected personally for sharing your faith?

 

INTO THE BIBLE:

Q1 - Which of the 3 peace giving promises from the message are most helpful to you personally when you are recruiting behind enemy lines?

Q2 - What other promises in scripture do you know of (even if you can't find the reference) which give you peace when you are persecuted for witnessing?

 

Read Acts 4:18-31 (Button #1)

 

Q3 - Peter and John had just done a miracle and were teaching boldly in the name of Jesus publicly.  The Jewish leaders hated this but didn't know what to do with them because of the opinions of others.  So they commanded them to be silent, threatened them, and let them go.  What similarities do you see here to the modern type of persecution we might face when you are recruiting behind enemy lines?

 

Q4 - How do you see the believers responding to this persecution?

Q5 - Look at the prayer in verses 24-30.  What is different and what is similar to how you pray in response to persecution?

APPLICATION:

Take the core ideas from the prayer in verses 24-30 and write them in your own words with your own life context.  Share you prayer that you wrote with the group.

Acts 4:18-31
