Men's Ministry

Please read Acts 2:29-36

14. Why does Peter talk about David, who died about a thousand years before this?

Please Read Acts 2:37-41

15. After Peter finished his sermon, the crowd asked, “Brothers, what shall we do?” What do you think this question meant? Why did they call Peter and the apostles “brothers?”
16. We've seen the Holy Spirit come in verse 2 and 3 with some amazing sights and sounds. We've also seen Peter preach. Why did the people not respond to the Holy Spirit’s coming like they did to Peter’s preaching? Was he really that good a preacher?
17. What is repentance (see verse 38)? Peter seemingly ties repentance to baptism “for the forgiveness of your sins.” Is baptism necessary for repentance?  For salvation? Why or why not? If not, why did Peter say what he did?

Please read Acts 2:42-47

18. Who is “they” in verse 42?
19. What was included in “the apostles’ teaching? Keep in mind that none of the New Testament had been written at this time.
20. What does “breaking bread” mean?
21. Who is “they” in verse 46?
22. It appears these new Christians were gathering together at the Temple every single day. Is this a model for us? Is this an example for us? What lesson can we glean from verse 46?
