DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Paul is often credited as a man who expanded the early church and did incredible things. That work began with a man by the name of Ananias. Paul was also able to pass it on to Silas and Timothy and others. Who is someone that powerfully taught you in the faith? Who is someone who you are encouraging in their spiritual walk so that they might impact the world for the sake of the Gospel?
2. Consider the people in your life who are most antagonistic to Christianity. How might God use you to bring them to Christ?
3. ‘The next level lies outside the boundaries of our current experience.’ Discuss an area of your life where you are feeling challenged to lift to the next level and what boundaries you need to break through to get there.
4. Emma asked the question; ‘Ananias obeyed the Holy Spirit which led to the conversion of Paul so who in your life does the Lord want you to play the role of Ananias?’ Reflect on how you personally can become more sensitive to God’s voice and more trusting and obedient to the Holy Spirit? Discuss
5. Looking back at your notes from this week’s Message, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you?
