Luke continues to describe the events taking place and the people who were part of the first congregation of the church in Jerusalem.
Discussion Questions
- In your opinion, what are the major differences between the deacons we read about in the book of Acts and the deacons in the church today? Why is this so?
- What is the difference between the indwelling and the empowering of the Holy Spirit? List the way that the Holy Spirit influences us today as Paul explains it in Romans 8.
- Many claim that baptism is a "work of the Law" and thus not necessary to be saved. How would you answer this teaching (use specific scriptures)?
