1. Compare the resurrection account in Luke 24:1-8 with the Jesus’ ascension in Acts 1:9-11. What parallels do you observe between these events? How do they differ? What is significant about the promise given by the two men in verse 10?
2. Compare Luke 6:12-16 with Acts 1:13-14. Why was prayer their first response?
3. Read Leviticus 16:8 and Proverbs 16:33. How was the casting of lots used in the past to determine God’s direction? Why do you suppose there is no further mention of this practice in the rest of the New Testament?
4. How does the selection of Matthias in Acts 1:24-26 demonstrate that the ascended Jesus is still leading His followers?
5. How strong of a position are you (or your family) in to be lead by Jesus? (1 weak 8 strong)
Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) 1 2 3 5 6 7 8
Scripture (2 Timothy 2:15) 1 2 3 5 6 7 8
Followership (Hebrews 13:7) 1 2 3 5 6 7 8
Wisdom (Ephesians 5:15-16) 1 2 3 5 6 7 8
