When God first started the church, people gathered to see what was going on and ask: "What could this mean?" 2:12. Kinda like church on Easter Sunday. The answer is that God has intervened, Jesus is risen and will reign, God has shown us the paths of life and opened the way for us to have joy in His presence. Imagine, standing in the presence of THE GOD, without any fear, any guilt, only joy...
The next question, 2:37, is: if this is true "What shall we do?" Believe it. Turn from rebellion to reliance upon Jesus. You do believe, then be baptized. You already have-then join the church. You are a member-then join in, give yourself to it, 2:42-47, give yourself to Him.
Points some of our Growth Groups will consider:
- How does the quote from Psalm 16 in 2:25-28 refer to the Christ, to David, to us?
- What does it suggest about the importance of our life is David's life experiences could portray Christ?
- What should your next step be in response to the question, "What shall we do?"
- How does practicing spiritual life relate to being saved from this corrupt generation (2:40)?

As I mentioned to you on Wednesday, the question "What shall we do?" has great significance to our growth groups. Trusting the Lord that we have turned back, believing in God's saving grace through Jesus Christ, have been baptized and become a part of our local fellowship, we must seriously ask the question "what is next?!" That question has endless possibilities, but the key to me is how we represent our Lord to the world. As in Acts 2:47 Do others like what they see, so that the Lord can add to our numbers?
