As a group, summarize Acts 11:19-30
What stood out to you from the text?
Why were the believers displaced from Jerusalem and relocated to Antioch? What does this teach us about God’s sovereignty over our whereabouts and circumstances?
Based on the context of the passage, who were the Hellenists? Why were the Jews unwilling to speak to them about Jesus? (Greeks; Gentiles)
Why do you believe the modern church – our church even might think we need something more than the “hand of the Lord upon us?”
Why is grace so significant to the gospel and Christianity?
What do we learn about Barnabas in this passage that we can apply to our own lives?
What is the difference between preaching and teaching? Why is teaching central to the health and growth of the church?
What do we learn about faith and works from the church at Antioch? More specifically, what are the characteristics of their generosity?
