Charlie's Challenge 7.16.23

 Charlie’s Challenges: Extras from the sermon: Simply Church


Memory verse:  And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to breaking of bread and to prayer.  Acts 2:42


Text of the day Acts 2:42-47


  • What does this passage teach about man?

The new church in Acts 2 was deeply committed.  If you were to describe what our church is deeply committed to, what would your answer be?


Of the four things described in Acts 2:42 which of these do you think we do best?  Why do you say that?  Which of these four do you believe we are weak in doing?  Why do you think that is the case?  What can we do to strengthen our commitment in these four areas?


The Acts 2 church had the favor of all the people.  What do you think our reputation is like in our town?  Good reputation, Bad reputation, No reputation.  Why do you think this is the case?


  • What does this passage teach us about God?

God is deeply invested in the church.  What does that mean for us practically?  Since God is so deeply invested in the church, why do so many churches try to grow the church themselves?


What is the difference between a sense of awe and a really exciting church program?


  • What are we going to do with this knowledge?

Of the four “tools” listed in verse 42 which one do you feel you need to work on in your life as a disciple?  What are you going to do to improve in that area?
