Weekly Sermon Discussion Questions

1. What does Acts 14 teach us to expect when it comes to opposition and the difficulty level associated with the Christian life and mission?
2. Considering Acts 14:22 and 2 Timothy 3:12, how do we need to adjust our expectations as individuals, families, and churches?
3. How did Paul and Barnabas bear witness to the supremacy of God at Lystra (14:8-18)? What can we learn from their response to pagan confusion and idolatry?
4. What does this passage teach us about Presbyterian church government?
5. What does Luke mean when he says that Paul and Barnabas “appointed elders for them in every church” (14:23)? Considering the principle of Acts 6:3—that church officers are chosen by the people—how was this appointment most likely done?
6. Paul repeatedly returns to Jerusalem (Acts 11:30; 15:1-35; 18:22; 20:16; 24:17) and Antioch (12:25; 14:24-28) showing a continued desire to maintain links with sending churches even as he moves to expand the reach of the gospel to new frontiers where Christ has not yet been named (Romans 15:20). Why are these return visits important?
6. What do Paul and Barnabas do in Acts 14:27-28 when they get back? And what can we learn from this?

Monthly Scripture Memorization:

“And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed” (Acts 14:23).
