QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON DURING THE WEEK - “Belts and Bribes”

  1. Read Acts 21:7-16.  How does Paul respond to Agabus when he prophesied that Paul will be put into prison?  

  2. Often times things can be scary for us in our faith.  How can Paul’s trust in Jesus encourage you? 

  3. After Paul is arrested, he gives similar speeches in his defense.  Read 22:1-22. What are the key points of his speech?  

  4. In times when the world seems to persecute you, how can you keep speaking of Jesus and the resurrection?

  5. Bonus Question:  For an overview of this whole section, read Acts 20-26.  What are some common elements across these chapters? How do they help us understand the way of Jesus?

[Sunday] Freely - Tenants

The essence of true Christian living: recognizing that God owns everything and has freely given us Christ’s transformation, moving us away from the "Rich Fool's" selfish materialism toward the cheerful and shared stewardship of all our resources.

[Sunday] Freely Dwell

Shifting focus from the temple as a static building, the freely shared reality is that God desires to dwell among us, using our diverse and imperfect gifts as the very means to make His presence known for the benefit of all.

Revelation Ch 21-22 Bible Study
Revelation Ch 21-22 Bible Study

We traced Revelation 21–22 as the climactic reunification of heaven and earth, connecting its temple/tabernacle imagery, priestly stones, and the Bride/City to Eden’s river and tree of life, contrasting Babylon’s coercive economy with God’s freely given water of life and the Lamb’s healing light for the nations.

Overturning the common belief that grace is reluctantly earned, the freely given reality of the Gospel is that God's salvation flows from His eager delight to love and forgive us.

We are the recipients of God's overflowing grace and boundless love. This gift transforms our very identity, compelling us toward a life of radical gratitude and contagious generosity. Let's fully embrace this joyful way to live by sharing our time, talents, and resources.
