Questions for the Community

Personal Reflection

1. Think of an example where you struggle because you aren’t in control. How is God growing you in this?

Group Discussion

  1. How must Christians handle disagreements as the family of God? Are you contributing to the unity and truthfulness that God desires?
  2. On the Day of Pentecost, the Spirit initiated some new and confusing things AND they were clarified in time. Review the 3 points from Sunday and discuss what most stands out.
  3. In what ways do you live your life such that you REQUIRE the help and comfort of the Holy Spirit. What fruit comes from this?
  4. How can you tell if it is the Holy Spirit or some other spirit at work in your life or in those around you?

Plan of Action

  1. Review the 3 suggested actions. Respond to those or write (and DO) your own.
  2. Each week, activate (as in: do, respond, obey) whatever it is the Holy Spirit is prompting you to do or be. Think about his role in helping you. How will you co-operate with Him?
