From Jerusalem to Rome, the Ends of the Earth, we've gone with Peter, Paul, and the Holy Spirit. Here in Acts 28:11-31, we reflect on where we've been, and what the Lord is calling us to next.

❎ Is worship wasteful?

???? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Ice-Breaker – What’s your name and which smartphone map app do you use, if any?
- Scripture – Re-read Acts 28:25-27. Why do you think the author of Acts, Luke, ends by quoting this Isaiah text? How do you think his audience would have received it and how are we supposed to receive it?
- Big Picture/Acts Recap – What’s one thing you’ve learned from our series in Acts?
- Onward – What’s one small, prayerful, step you can take going forward?

???? RECOMMENDED RESOURCES:
- Worship – When we took communion this last March, Andy led us using “Brooke Ligertwood - Communion (Lyric Video).” If you’d like to revisit that beautiful song, please click the link. https://youtu.be/jiXU9PpTQCs
- Acts Sermon – If you’d like a longer sermon on Sunday’s closing passage in Acts, try: A Handoff, Not a Finale - Acts 28:11-31 (1.28.18) - Pastor Jordan Rogers. I found his sermon to be thoughtful and a great study of the text. https://youtu.be/t3twFvpy2MA
- Deconstruction Podcasts – While not everyone will find these helpful, if you’re wrestling with questions of doubt, or know someone who is, these might be helpful. First, you could try “Episode 454: Dangers, Doubts, & Deconstruction with A.J. Swoboda” from the Holy Post podcast. As a Portland Pastor and professor, Swoboda has witnessed a lot of deconstructing, often for social reasons, and has a very winsome and encouraging way of addressing it. https://youtu.be/mMzbow19HVM?t=2494
- Second, if you’re more of an intellectual, heady type, you could try “How to Doubt Your Faith (and How NOT to!)” by Dr. Sean McDowell. They clearly know their stuff and are passionate about people finding Christ. https://youtu.be/OBtwwr04nGw
