The 1st 10 Years" (Part Two - Acts 2) - Mark Bourne

Text: Acts 2Title: "Supernatural Help"Summary: Acts 2 records for us the day the church began. 3000 were baptized into Christ that day for (1) the forgiveness of sins, and (2) the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit. God hasn't just forgiven His people, He provides help to live new/transformed lives through the Holy Spirit.Questions:1. Read 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Ephesians 6:17. The Holy Spirit protected everything written in the Bible so that we would be prepared and equipped for everything we face throughout life. Are there issues you face that you haven't found addressed in the Bible? If so, share with your group to get help finding the passages in the Bible that can guide you through your challenges.2. The Spirit gave us the Bible to guide us, but He also indwells us for spiritual power. See Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 6:19 and Ephesians 3:16. How has He provided power in your life to (1) overcome sin or attacks and (2) accomplish good (think of the things you have been able to do to help the church and help bring other people closer to the Lord). It's important to recognize what the Holy Spirit is empowering in your life and give credit where credit is due.
