QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON DURING THE WEEK - “Belts and Bribes”

  1. Read Acts 21:7-16.  How does Paul respond to Agabus when he prophesied that Paul will be put into prison?  

  2. Often times things can be scary for us in our faith.  How can Paul’s trust in Jesus encourage you? 

  3. After Paul is arrested, he gives similar speeches in his defense.  Read 22:1-22. What are the key points of his speech?  

  4. In times when the world seems to persecute you, how can you keep speaking of Jesus and the resurrection?

  5. Bonus Question:  For an overview of this whole section, read Acts 20-26.  What are some common elements across these chapters? How do they help us understand the way of Jesus?
