Acts Ch. 1

We are reading through the book of Acts this year. All 28 chapters of church history and missionary activity. Because most chapters are long and we only have minutes to read and discuss I will narrow each chapter down to what the leaders and myself feel are most appropriate to young Christians.

In chapter 1, Luke, the author writes the theme to the book. Acts 1:8- But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witness in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. This theme is key to living a Christian life. We must live like Jesus says and spread the word in Clovis, Fresno, the Central Valley, and all of the world.

For today's lesson we will focus on this verse as well as Jesus ascending into heaven and prayer time with the disciples. We will not focus of the disciples picking the new disciple because Judas is gone. This information is important, but we don't have time to explain everything.

Questions:

1. What is baptism?

2. What is the Holy Spirit? Yea, I know, two knock out punch questions to start!

3. What does Jesus mean when He says it is not for you to know the time?

4. What does Acts 1:8 mean to you?

5. What do you notice happens after they hear this important information from Jesus?

6. What should you do after hearing this important information?
