Unstoppable Salvation

Pray

Pray together for the group meeting, and any pressing needs within the group.

If any groups attendees have kids that need a wholesome distraction during the discussion here is a YouTube channel with many great Pentecostal videos for kids.

Review

Each week you’ll spend some time reviewing the previous week’s lesson. Did anything happen last week that brought the lesson to mind, and what did you learn from it?

Watch

Watch the following discussion-starter video. It’ll set the topic of discussion for the group.

Read: Acts 19:1-10

  1. One person will first read the scripture selection in the King James Version.
  2. Next, another person will read the same passages in a modern language or amplified version for more clarity such as the New Living Translation (NLT), Message Bible (MSG), New English Translation (NET), Amplified Bible (AMP), etc. We recommend using the YouVersion Bible app.

Retell

  1. One person will begin retelling the scripture passage in their own words (a new person to start each week is great!) Then…
  2. As a group, work together to fill in gaps and build the story. This will help us internalize and own it. Be sure everyone participates.

Discuss

Together, share around the group how the topic and scripture setting applies to your life personally. Here are some thoughts to consider for discussion… don’t let the discussion stop here, though… what questions can you ask that will help uncover God’s message?

Paul stops in Ephesus:

  1. How was Apollos’ belief in last week’s lesson similar to these twelve men’s belief?
  2. What was the spiritual condition of the twelve men Paul found in Ephesus?
  3. What is the first question that Paul asked them?
  4. What was the second question Paul asked them?
  5. How long did Paul base his ministry in the synagogue?
  6. Where did Paul base his ministry after he was no longer welcome in the synagogue?

Paul Ministers

  1. How did these believers respond to Paul’s teaching?
  2. Why did the believers get rebaptized?
  3. Did Paul rebuke or chastise the believers for not having the Holy Spirit?
  4. What do Paul’s actions indicate about the need for baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit?

Takeaway And Application 

  1. Was anyone here rebaptized? Why? How?
  2. How should we minister to people that we know are believers, but not spirit filled?
  3. What is the significance of Paul’s first question?
