Pentecost

Discussion Questions

Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

We often evaluate churches by visible metrics like attendance, programs, and facilities, yet the early church began simply with the Spirit filling ordinary believers. What would change in how you view your own spiritual life if you measured it by dependence on the Spirit rather than by what you produce or accomplish?

The believers at Pentecost immediately began proclaiming what God had done, making their faith a public declaration rather than a private experience. In what areas of your life have you been tempted to keep your faith private, and what holds you back from speaking about what God has done?

 Pentecost reversed the division that occurred at Babel, unifying people across language and culture through the Spirit's power. Where do you see division or miscommunication in your relationships that might need the Spirit's work to bring understanding and unity?

The Spirit does not fill us simply for our own benefit but to send us out on mission, often to people closer than we expect. Who in your everyday life, perhaps a neighbor, coworker, or family member, do you sense God may be calling you to reach out to?
