Scripture: Acts 21

CG DISCUSSION GROUPS

1) How does the "nature of Christian Fellowship"  (The warmth, the emotion, the love and devotion to one another) help us in discerning God's will for our lives? (Think of an individual who does not have a community like described in Acts 20 & 21)

2) How do we see the apparent contradiction between Paul's decision to go to Jerusalem and the counsel of the church elders and Luke himself to not go?  Have you had a similar situation when you had to make a decision and people discouraged you.   What did you do?

3) Luke says in V. 14 that they conceded when Paul refused to be persuaded ad they said; "Let the will of the Lord  be done." How is this a comfort to us? 

4) How do we discern God's will in a situation?  What do we have to consider?

5) Share a prayer request for a decision in which you have to make and pray for one another
