REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What does it mean to have 'all things in common' in the context of a church community?

2. Can you think of a time when you shared something valuable with someone else? How did that experience affect your relationship with that person?

3. In Acts 3, Peter and John healed a man and then called for repentance. Why is this two-step process significant?

4. How can you approach helping others while also encouraging them to think about their relationship with God?

5. How do we balance the need for community with the challenge of including those who might not share our beliefs or values?

6. Are there people in your life whom you find difficult to accept? What steps might you take to open your heart to them?

7. How can the Holy Spirit help us overcome our fears about sharing our possessions or time (or grace!) with others?

8. What responsibilities do you have as a member of the family of God?
