Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The leaders can tell Peter and John have been with Jesus. What does being with Jesus do to a person?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Peter and John are ordinary men, not experts. Why were the leaders so surprised by them?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is something you have seen God do that you will tell somebody about this week?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who would you feel nervous telling about Jesus? Could you ask God to help you tell them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, the leaders told Peter and John to stop talking about Jesus, and they said they couldn't. Thank you that ordinary people can be brave for you. Help me tell what I have seen and heard.
