Discussion Questions

What stood out to you in Acts 5 about the way God used His power to free and recommission the apostles?
Can you recall a time when God “opened a door” for you that felt unexpected or supernatural? What impact did it have on your faith?
Where do you feel the pull to compromise your allegiance to Jesus (comfort, approval, career, or reputation)?
How have you experienced God restoring you, like He did with Peter, when you’ve denied your allegiance to Jesus?
Have you seen someone suffer well for Jesus and respond with hope, joy, or forgiveness? How did their witness impact you?

Prayer Points

Pray that God would help us not rely on our own strength, but on His power as we witness.
Pray for God’s forgiveness for the times we’ve denied Jesus, and ask Him to restore our allegiance to Him.
Pray that our church would be filled with people whose suffering points others to Jesus.
