Wednesday [BE>DO]:
Think about this week’s questions for group discussion:
- The Holy Spirit brought about a dramatic change in Peter’s life. Consider those changes in his life, and consider your own.
- What changes has the Spirit brought about in your life and witness? All those who are filled with the Spirit, like Old Testament prophets, can know God intimately and are called to make him known faithfully. What Moses longed for (Numbers 11:29) and what Joel predicted – now has arrived. Consider your prophetic role within your circle of influence. How are you growing in your intimacy with Christ? How are you making Him known?
- Consider that Peter’s message at Pentecost is simple, scriptural and Christ-centered. Take some time to recap the gospel message, its scriptural references and key points. Take time in LG to share that message and pray for one another’s boldness in sharing that message.
