How To Be Right When You're Wronged

May 26, 2013 Speaker: Missio Dei Church Series: Acts - The Church: Continuing What Jesus Began

Topic: New Testament Expository Passage: Acts 16:16–16:40

Week 38 of a 68 week series in which we will be exploring the book of Acts in a series titled "The Church: Continuing What Jesus Began." This series will not just be a travelogue through the early church's history. It will be a reminder for us of what Jesus did on the earth in his tough, compassionate, loving, healing deeds and what he said on the earth in his truthful, authoritative, convicting, comforting teaching was only the beginning of his doing and his teaching.

Theme: When you're wronged, entrust your soul to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

Our latest installment of Missional Community study guides for the book of Acts can be found by clicking here. The questions for this coming Sunday include:

  1. Read aloud the above Scripture and talk about what stood out to you. This could be Scripture alone or it could something that the sermon pointed out to you from Sunday.
  2. How can we know when it is right to defend ourselves and when we should simply yield our rights?
  3. Is depression a sin? How can a person be “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10)?
  4. What should a Christian do when his life has been a poor testimony to those without Christ?
  5. What are some practical steps toward deepening our daily joy in the Lord?
  6. So, what are we, as individuals and as a Missional Community, going to do with this section of Scripture? What is God calling us to be? What is God calling us to do?
