“Amazing Grace in Ordinary Places” Acts 2:42-47, Ryan Laughlin

                                                       Sermon Discussion Questions




       1) In the previous section of Acts, we are told of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Church. What do we see happening in 2:42-47.


        2) The way in which we experience the grace of the gospel is by very ordinary means. How do each of these means of grace help us know the truth of the gospel better? Discuss each one
                              A) Word of God
                              B) Sacrament of communion (Table of God)
                              C) Prayer (Worship of God)

        3) Are we making the most of these means of grace? The text says the early church was “devoted” to these means and to each other. Are there areas in our own lives where we are not devoted? Or areas that we can grow in together?


        4) God uses these ordinary means of grace in a community context. What are some challenges about experiencing them in community? What are some ways we can affirm experience means of grace in community?

      5) Sermon quote: “God says He will meet us in these ordinary places and He means it. It is an appointment He will not break.” Does that change the way we view and interact with these ordinary means? Do we expect God to show up and teach us more about Himself through these means?
