    Acts 4: When Ordinary People Become Courageous

    Today, Dave Blow continues our look at the birth of the church in the book of Acts. What does it mean to be courageous and how can the Holy Spirit help us to have real courage in the world? Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here. Prior to the teaching and just before dismissing the children to KidsPoint, Dave showed this clip from The Wizard of Oz. Home Church Questions: 1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching? 2. Read Acts 3:1-4:31 (preferably in multiple translations). What part of the story or sermon stood out to you most? Was there a verse, idea, or challenge that particularly encouraged or stretched you? 3. Peter and John stopped and truly saw the man at the temple gate. Who are the people in your everyday life that are easy to overlook? What might it look like to pay closer attention to them this week? 4. Peter said, “What I do have I give you.” What gifts, abilities, experiences, or resources has God given you that could be used to serve and encourage others? 5. The sermon suggested that courage is not the absence of fear but moving forward despite fear. Can you think of a time when God helped you act courageously, even when you felt uncertain or afraid? 6. The early church responded to opposition with prayer, asking for boldness rather than safety. Why do you think they prayed this way? What might it look like for us to pray for boldness in our own lives and community? 7. The sermon connected courage and spiritual warfare with everyday choices such as forgiveness, compassion, hope, and truthfulness. 8. Which of these areas feels most challenging for you right now, and how might the Holy Spirit help you grow in that area? 9. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.
