Acts: When the Story Doesn’t End
The book of Acts ends with loose ends – a story unfinished. But maybe that’s the point. As we close this rollercoaster of a journey through Acts with Pastor Robyn Elliott, we ask: what kind of church are we becoming, and are we still living the way of Jesus, not with control and power, but with humility, love, and Spirit-empowered purpose?
Discussion Questions:
1. In what ways has the church today become more like an empire than a movement shaped by Jesus?
2. Have you ever experienced the church as a place of healing – or as a place of harm? What shaped that experience?
3. Where have you seen the Spirit still at work today – in individuals or communities – despite the church’s brokenness?
4. How can we tell if we’re studying the Bible but still missing Jesus? What are the warning signs?
5. What would it look like to retrace our steps, not just as individuals but as a community of faith?
6. Robyn said, “Our hearts can grow hard, even in holy places.” Where in your life do you need to be softened – spiritually, relationally, or emotionally?
7. Are there areas where you’ve been clinging to control, fame, or platform, rather than humility and vulnerability?
8. If Acts doesn’t have a clear ending, what does that say about your role in God’s story today?
9. What does it mean to you that the table of Jesus is open to “all who are weary?”
