Acts Reading Guide预览

Chained to two soldiers and guarded by 14 others, Peter needed a rescuer. God rescued Peter from a hostile court and certain death by sending an angel to free Peter from his chains. The angel escorted Peter past the guards, and Peter walked out of prison unscathed. Peter’s escape was miraculous, but no more miraculous than God’s work in our church today. Every day God offers people freedom through a group or a volunteer role. He storms prisons of loneliness, addiction, financial bondage, worthlessness and rejection. He sets people free with the love, fellowship, teaching and purpose-filled living. Are you waiting for God to “beam you up” and out of your difficulties? Or are you willing, like Peter, to wake up, get up and follow God out of prison by taking your next step? 1) What does this passage teach us about God? How does it apply to you? 2) Write about a situation in your life where you need God to show up big. Ask Him to do just that. 3) Peter walked out of the prison unscathed, but it all started with his first step. What first step is God asking you to take today?
