Our Culture – Session 3

Break the Ice.

  • What is something you overspend on?  What is something you underspend on?

Bring the Word.

This we’re focusing on our 2nd culture statement: Life Change.  In the book of Acts chapter 8-10, we read the stories of 4 people who’s lives were radically changed by their encounters with Jesus Christ.

Read or summarize Acts 8:9-24.

  • In what ways did Simon’s life change?
  • In what ways did Simon’s life not change?
  • How does this relate to us and spiritual growth?

Read or summarize Acts 8:26-38.

  • What was the Ethiopian doing before his life changed?
  • How do we see Christ pursuing the Ethiopian?

Read or summarize Acts 9:1-20.

  • What was Saul doing before he met Christ?
  • How do we see Christ pursuing Saul?

Read or summarize Acts 10:23-48

  • What was Cornelius doing before he met Christ?
  • How do we see Christ pursuing Cornelius?

Bring it Home.

  1. Action Questions:
  • How are these 4 stories similar?  How are they different
  • What does it mean to you to know that Christ pursues you?
  • How do these examples conflict with man’s approach at working or “being good” for salvation?
  1. Prayer:
    • How can we pray for you?
