#Bible Study Questions on Acts Ch 16 from 4/28

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 16

Vv 11-15

Where is Philippi? Ever heard of it before?

Why didn’t they go to the synagogue on the Sabbath?

Why are women at the river?

What is the significance of Lydia’s profession?

After her conversion, what significant acts does Lydia take?

Vv 16-40

What’s the story of the little slave girl?

Why did the girl’s owners react as they did?

Are vv 20-21 accurate?

What punishment do the magistrates assign to Paul and Silas?

How do we know the jailer took his job seriously?

Why were Paul and Silas still awake at midnight? What were they doing?

What are the immediate results of the earthquake?

What is the jailer’s response to the earthquake?

How could Paul know what the jailer was about to do?

The jailer’s question isn’t what you might expect in such a situation. What does this tell us about P & S?

After Paul’s sermon, what acts does the jailer take? What is God’s response?

The magistrates will let P & S go. What’s Paul’s problem with that?

Why were the magistrates “alarmed” in v38 and want “to appease” P & S in v39?

What can we learn from Paul and Silas’s example in this?

 We got this far this week. 

Ch 17

Vv 1-9

Where is Thessalonica? What’s different about it from Philippi?

What’s Paul’s approach here?

What do we learn about the new believers that makes it clear they are not all Jews? How did the non-Jews learn Paul’s message?

How much of the accusation in vv6-7 is true?

Vv 10-15

Comment on the Bereans compared to the Thessalonians.

While Paul might not have been happy with the Thessalonian Jews, why would he understand them?

Vv 16-34

What bothered Paul about Athens?

Why did people think Paul was a “babbler”?
