Application Questions:
1. How do you see the apostles imitating the example of Jesus in Acts? How should the church continue their work through the generations? How might we strengthen ourselves to follow their example?

2. When reading Acts, pay extra attention to the mentions of the Holy Spirit. What role do you see the Holy Spirit playing in the spread of the Good News of Jesus in Acts? What role should the Holy Spirit play in our lives today?

3. What are the different strategies that the apostles used to spread the Good News of Jesus throughout the book? Which of these strategies do you think could be effective in our continuation of Christ’s work today? Why do you think so? What effect can they have?
