Questions for the Community
Personal Reflection
- How do you respond to Peter’s sermon in Acts? Did anything cut to your own heart (see 2:37)?
- If you are a Christian, how has sharing the gospel changed you and the people around you? Are you encouraged or discouraged in this calling? Re-remember your own fresh start and new beginning in Jesus.
Group Discussion
3. What of Peter’s sermon or the 7 ways the Spirit empowers you most stood out? Has this truth helped you or someone else this week?
4. Peter was in the right place and time to be used by God because he was obedient. How are you obeying God right now? Are you watchful for how you might be used?
5. Peter walked through the open door of opportunity by opening his mouth. What moves you to speak? What keeps you silent?

Plan of Action
- Have you actually been cut to the heart by your sin and Christ’s resurrection? Have you repented and been forgiven? Have you been baptized? If not, will you repent and seek forgiveness right now, and pursue being baptized?
- Each week, activate (as in: do, respond, obey). How can you use Peter’s example to communicate to non-Christians?
