To start:

Share with your group about a time when you were able to share the good news about Jesus

Read: Acts 2:42-47

Is it hard or easy for you to see yourself as a witness? What factors are at work here?

We believe God is sovereign, drawing people to himself and adding to the church’s number (see John 6:35-40; Acts 2:47). So why does he still want to use us to get the good news out? What do we bring that might add something to the witnessing process?

Read 1 Peter 3:15-16 and discuss what this says about the manner of our witness

Read: Acts 2:14-41

As you read Peter’s sermon, try and identify the different ‘stages’ of his message. What elements of witnessing can you identify in what he says? (hint: there may be 5 or 6)

What would you need to do, or do differently, to improve your ability to witness?

To close: pray for the needs you have identified above, and in coming weeks continue to encourage one another in witnessing
