The Name They Could Not Silence

Acts 4:1-22

discussion questions:

1. What most sticks out to you in this passage and why?

2. Cole mentioned that seeing Peter in this passage is easy to admire, but hard to imitate. What emotions or thoughts do you have when you consider witnessing boldly for Christ?

3. When was the last time you experienced "friction" as a result of the gospel? Or, when was the last time you experienced "fruit" as a result of the gospel?

4. Read 2 Corinthians 2:15-17. What in this Scripture do you find most encouraging, challenging, or convicting?

5. Read Acts 4:8 again. What do you think it actually means for us to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

6. Now, read Acts 4:13-22. In what ways might spending time with Jesus relate to living with boldness (Acts 4:13)?

7. How would our lives look different if we lived them "in the sight of God" (Acts 4:19) rather than in the sight of man?
