“What Good is the Bible?” Acts 18:24-19:20 Rev. Ryan Laughlin

                                                     Sermon Discussion Questions


  1) Taking the title from the sermon, do we think the Bible is good for us? In what ways?

  2) After reading over this passage, how do we see God’s Word correcting, persuading and revealing reality to different folks?

  3) How do we see Priscilla and Aquila approaching Apollos with their concerns over some of his theology?

   4) Quote from the bulletin: “The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me.” Martin Luther.) How does this quote sit with you? Would you describe the Bible as being “alive” to you?

  5) What is Paul’s tactic in sharing the gospel to the people in Ephesus? Give specific examples from the text. 

  6) The Bible is God’s spoken word to us, so that we can know Him better. He is pursuing relationship with us through His word. Is that encouraging news to hear?
