1. Why is it important to remember that the household of God is also an embassy of God’s kingdom? What happens to a local church that forgets that reality?

2. Why is political idolatry (Acts 1:6) such a common temptation for followers of Jesus? Why does it feel like this type of idolatry is more rampant than ever?

3. Why is missional inactivity (Acts 1:9-11) such a common temptation for followers of Jesus? Which of the two ditches are you personally most tempted to fall into? Why?

4. In light of how Jesus responds to the disciples’ question about the mission and kingdom of God, what then is God’s responsibility? What is our responsibility?

5. What power sources does Jesus provide His witnesses in order for them to accomplish His mission? What are the power sources that we are tempted to rely on instead?
