Unstoppable: Acts 2:14-36 Questions for Discussion and Reflection

Compare Joel 2:28 with Acts 2:17. Peter, in his address to the crowd adds the phrase “in the last days” to Joel’s prophecy. What insights do the following scriptures provide about the “last days”?

Isaiah 2:2—
Hosea 3:5—
Micah 4:1-8—
Hebrews 1:2—
1 Peter 1:20—

Peter’s announces that the coming of Jesus ushered in the last days. How will the prophecies in verses 19-20 be fulfilled at the culmination of the last days? (See Matthew 24:29-30)

When will these things take place? (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32; 1 Thessalonians 5:1; Acts 1:7)

How does Peter sum up the gospel? (Acts 1:23-24)

When did you first encounter authentic Christianity? Where you astounded or did you sneer?

How are you reflecting the character of God? (John 13:35; 1 Peter 1:15; 2:9)

What opportunities do you (does our family) have to “confess His name”?

For whom are you (is our family) making intercession?

As a result of this study, list one specific way in which you (our family) will be Christ’s ambassador this week.
