Acts 17
- What started the riot in Thessalonica?
- How were the Berean Jews different from those in Thessalonica?
- What caused some people to sneer at Paul in Acts 17?
- Why were Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth? Why were they later in Ephesus? How did they help Apollos?
- God spoke to Paul in Acts 18:9-10 specifically to encourage him. In what ways has God encouraged you?
- What happened at Ephesus when the Holy Spirit came on a group of disciples that Paul met?
- Acts 19:12 describes miracles being done as a result of handkerchiefs and aprons that Paul had touched being taken to the sick. Could God work in this way now?
- The scrolls that were burned in Acts 19:19 had a value of about $4 million in today's dollars. Why didn't they sell them at a yard sale and use the money for some good cause?
- Who started the riot in Ephesus?
- Why did Eutychus fall out of the window?
- Paul told the elders from Ephesus, "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers." (Acts 20:28) What does is mean to keep watch over yourself?
- In Acts 21:4 and again in 21:12, believers were urging Paul not to go to Jerusalem. Why did he continue to go there?
- Why was Paul arrested in Acts 21?
2 Samuel 13 - 24
- How could Amnon love Tamar in 2 Samuel 13:1 and hate her in 13:15?
- The wise woman from Tekoa said to David in 2 Samuel 14:14 that God "devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him." What has God done for us so that we are not banished from God's presence?
- 2 Samuel 15:6 says that Absalom, "stole the hearts of the people of Israel." How did he do this?
- Why did David put up with Shimei cursing and throwing stones and dirt in 2 Samuel 16?
- What caused Ahithophel to hang himself in 2 Samuel 17?
- Ahimaaz wanted to run to David with news in 2 Samuel 18, but only to tell him part of what he knew. Was he expecting to be rewarded?
- Why did David and Joab have differing attitudes toward the death of Absalom?
- How did the wise woman of Abel Beth Maakah prevent her city from being attacked?
- In 2 Samuel 21 God held Israel accountable for breaking the treaty with the Gibeonites. The treaty had been made hundreds of years earlier by Joshua (Joshua 9). The treaty was only made because the Gibeonites lied about where they lived. What does this show you about how seriously we should take our commitments?
- David wrote in 2 Samuel 22:28, "You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low." In what ways had David been humble during his life?
- 2 Samuel 23:12 describes Shammah taking a stand against the Philistines when the troops of Israel were fleeing. This led to a "great victory." How can one person's courage have a great impact?
- What was wrong with David counting the fighting men in 2 Samuel 24?
Psalms 53 - 55
- Psalm 53:3 says, "there is no one who does good, not even one." How is God able to save us if none of us does good?
- David wrote in Psalm 54:4, "the Lord is the one who sustains me." Do you recognize God's hand in sustaining you day by day?
- David says in Psalm 55:22, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you." How do you cast your cares on the Lord? Are you doing it?
