Acts: Joy in the Desert

REVIEW. “What did you take away from last time?” [Refer to last week’s responses.] “How did that go?” READ. Key Passage: Acts 8:26-40 Discussion Questions: Truth: God sent Philip to the desert in order to fulfill the promise of Acts 1:8. This is probably not what Philip had in mind when he followed Jesus. What deserts has God asked you to trust Him in? Repentance: The Ethiopian Eunuch had all of the earthly doors open for him but he was still not satisfied with his position, power and wealth. What satisfies you in your life right now? Faith: After the Eunuch is baptized, dying to self and being raised to new life, it says that he went away rejoicing. What have you (or need to) died to in order to find joy that is in Christ? RESPOND. Ask God, how can today’s discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together.
