Empowered to Devotion

Acts 2 shows us that the earliest Christians were empowered to devotion to true doctrine, fellowship, and to prayers.

The early church wasn't just inspired—they were transformed. Let’s be a people marked by fresh devotion to Jesus,

because He is worthy of it all.

Sermon Discussion Questions:

1. What experience or moment in your life first stirred your heart toward devotion to Jesus?

How has that devotion grown or changed over time?

2. Acts 2:42 says the early believers “devoted themselves” to the apostles’ teaching.

What does personal devotion to Scripture look like in your life right now, and what steps could deepen it?

3. Why do you think the early church had “all things in common” despite their differences in background, language,

and culture? What would it look like to reflect that kind of unity today?

4. How has doctrine shaped your understanding of suffering or trials?

Can you share a time when biblical truth helped you endure hardship?

5. The sermon mentioned the power of fellowship in discerning God’s will (e.g., the decision to go to China).

When have you experienced God speaking clearly through the voices of fellow believers?

6. “Awe came upon every soul…” (Acts 2:43)

What helps you recover a sense of awe toward Jesus when your spiritual life feels routine or dry?
