What Now? A Study in Acts (Pt. 12)
Grace in Action (Acts 4:32-5:11)
July 24-30, 2011

PRAY
Before you begin reading, reflecting, discussing, and applying, begin by opening your heart up to our Savior and Lord.  Praise Him and ask Him to incline your heart to His.   Invite Him to search your heart and make Himself known.

STUDY
Read Acts 4 & 5.  Continue to read Acts to get more comfortable with this part of our history.  We encourage you to make time to sit down and read all of Acts in one sitting at some point... the context of everything really hits home then.

DISCUSS
What are the keys to our Church being of one heart and mind?  What can you do to help make this a reality (think specifics)?  Are you honest with the handling of your resources and give in the way the Spirit leads?  Why did God kill Ananias & Sapphira?  Is that fair and in tune with God’s unchanging character of love and justice? 

LIVE
Take time to pray and ask God to reveal to you people that you might be out of sync with or harbour hard feelings.  Make peace in these relationships so that the unity of our Church might be strengthened.  Assess your wallet’s history... is your spending in line with your purpose?
