Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff,
Acts 17:1-15
1. If you were to ask folks in our community to describe the people currently inside our building right now, what do you think they would say?

2. Has Jesus turned you upside down?

3. Have you turned any part of the world in which you live upside down?

4. Has anyone ever called you a troublemaker because of your dedication to living as a Christian?

Further Study:
John 12:19
John 21:25

1. As you read these two verses imagine yourself living in that time. What type of things do you imagine Jesus was doing that was making “the whole world” go after him?

2. What do you imagine were the type of things that Jesus did that were not written down?

3. In what ways was Jesus viewed as a “troublemaker”?

4. Thinking of these verses in light of this week’s sermon; In what ways can you model your life after Jesus to turn the world’s view of Jesus upside down?
