1. Jesus spent 40 days proving He was alive and teaching about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). Why do you think this period was necessary, and what does it reveal about how God builds conviction and faith in His people?
2. Jesus told the disciples to “wait” for the promise of the Father (Acts 1:4–5). What makes waiting on God difficult in your life, and how can waiting actually be part of spiritual growth rather than inactivity?
3. The promise of being “clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49) is central here. What does it practically look like for a believer today to rely on the Holy Spirit rather than their own strength?
4. John distinguishes between water baptism and baptism with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5). How do you understand the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering daily Christian living versus just being a theological concept?
5. Acts 1:8 ties receiving power directly to being witnesses. In your current season, what does being a “witness” actually look like—in your home, work, or community?
6. The mission expands outward: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Where are you impacting others, showing your spheres of influence the love and power of Jesus?
