Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Read Acts 21:17-26 

  1. Tell of a time people told lies about you. What happened? How did it make you feel? How did you handle it? How would you handle it if you had to do it all over again?

  3. What does this passage teach us about handling enemies? What does this passage say about handling “weaker brothers” (true Christians still holding onto old traditions)?
