Discussion Questions

1. Today is the third week of a sermon series called “40 Days.” Our reading today is from Acts 1:1-11 and is focused around the 40 days that Jesus spent time with His disciples after His resurrection. Read it for yourself. What stands out to you as you read?

2. Jesus spoke about the “Kingdom of God” and prepared His disciples to share the Good News. Can you think of a time when God was preparing you for something? Did you realize it then, or only later?

3. The disciples asked if Jesus would restore the kingdom of Israel, while He was talking about God’s kingdom. Sometimes we focus on our own plans instead of God’s. What are some ways you’ve been tempted to follow your own plans rather than seek God’s will?

4. Jesus said His disciples would be His witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” People today need hope. How will you share Jesus and the hope found in Him this week?
