Below are some questions to help you and your household reflect on the sermon:

Can you think of a time in your own life, big or small, when something didn't go as you expected, but God still used it for good or for His purposes?
Read Acts 8:1-8. Philip went to Samaria, a place where people were often disliked. Where are some "Samarias" in your life or community – places or groups of people we might instinctively avoid – where God might be calling you to bring His good news?
Read Acts 8:26-40. How does the example of Philip in this text add to our understanding of missional outreach?
The Holy Spirit works in unexpected situations, even in the middle of persecution. What is it about persecution or unexpected situations that could help further God’s mission in our world?

Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:

Read Acts 6:1-7. What is the conflict that arises in the early church? What solution does the Holy Spirit provide to this problem?
Both preaching God's Word and serving tables (like distributing food) are equally important spiritual work. Why do we sometimes think one job is more "important" than another? How does it change our perspective to know that God sees mowing the lawn for someone in need or bringing a meal as holy work, just like preaching?
In Acts 6, the problem started because a group of widows was being overlooked. Who are some people in our church or community that we might be overlooking? What is one practical way your household could "serve a table" for someone this week?
How might the Holy Spirit be prompting you to step up and serve Him?
