Study Questions from Acts Ch 4 on 9/2
My Sunday school class/Life Group is studying the book of Acts. Every Monday, I’ll post the questions we discussed the day before. I encourage you to jot your thoughts down.
On Wednesdays, I’ll post some of the comments from the class discussion.
If you’d like a PDF file of the questions, email me at crd.author@gmail.com
Chapter 4
V13-22What character trait of Peter and John strikes the members of the Sanhedrin? Contrast this to them on the night Jesus was arrested—what made the difference?

Why was the Sanhedrin’s solution ineffective?
V13-22
