Impact: Acts 8

​

Scripture - Acts 8:1-25

 

1.  How did God use the persecution that broke out against the church to advance his gospel?

 

2. What comes to your mind when you think of the word "magic" or "sorcery"?  Where do you see it today? 

​

3.  Read Acts 8 - do you think that Simon was sincere in his faith early on and what do you think tripped him up? 

​

4.  What are some examples of "magical" or "manipulative" or "gnostic" thinking/acting that has nothing to do with magic or sorcery?  How do people try to control their world through power? 

​

5.  What might there be from your past life that God is calling you to give up? What ways of thinking or acting?  How is he rewiring your operating system?
