Unit 29 Session 2

THE WAITING COMMENCES

ACTS 1

The disciples chose Matthias to replace Judas in accordance with the Scriptures and God's leading.

After Jesus explained to the disciples that they would bear witness from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, Jesus ascended to Heaven. As the disciples watched where Jesus had gone, two angels appeared and assured them of Christ's return. All of this led to today's text, where we see the disciples obeyed Christ's command to wait as they prepared for the ministry that would follow when the Holy Spirit arrived.

Points to consider:

✞   Jesus' disciples unite in prayer.

     * Why is it sometimes hard to be 

        obedient to Jesus?

     * How has praying with others helped 

        you to deepen your sense of connection 

        with God and with your community of 

        believers?

✞   Jesus' disciples follow the Scriptures.

     * How does believing the Word of God is 

        true affect how we live?
     * What are ways we can learn to obey 

        Scripture more on a daily basis?

✞   Jesus' disciples trust in God.

     * When making a major decision, 

        what are some helpful tips to 

        help make the right decision?
     * When in your life have you asked 

        for God's leading, He answered, 

        but you didn't want to obey and 

        follow?
