Series: A Study of Acts - Part Three: The Gospel to Judea and Samaria
Title: Faithful to Christ and the Call
Text: Acts 9:23-31
1. Where are you most tempted to pursue quick results instead of long-term faithfulness in your walk with Christ? What might steady obedience look like in that area?
2. What rhythms currently help you stay connected to God? Which spiritual habit might the Lord be inviting you to strengthen so your faithfulness can deepen?
3. Have you ever experienced resistance because of your faith or obedience to God? How did you respond, and what would faithfulness look like if a similar situation arose again?
4. Who has played a “Barnabas role” in your life? How can you intentionally become that kind of encourager for someone else right now?
5. What tends to compete with Christ for the center of your life (success, comfort, approval, control, etc.)? What is one practical step to re-center your focus on Him this week?
6. Where might God be calling you to greater courage in your faith — a conversation, an invitation, a stand, or an act of obedience?
7. Which of these marks — peace, spiritual growth, encouragement, obedience, or gospel impact — do you most want to see increase in your life? What step toward faithfulness could help cultivate that fruit?
