Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Read Acts 19:11-20
- Why do you think God used the handkerchiefs and aprons of Paul to heal people?
- Why didn't the "exorcism" work for the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13-16), even though they used the name of Jesus? What does this tell you about how the power of Jesus "works"?
- Do you think Satan can work miracles today? Discuss 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. How do you know if a miracle is from God?
- Why is it better that God uses you, than you using God?
Breakout Questions:
Have you ever tried to use God for your own selfish reasons? What got your attention that it wouldn’t work out how you want?
Pray for one another.
