Paul deals with his past at the start of the passage. Why is it important for Christians to remember who they were before they were saved?

Paul describes his Damascus Road moment in v. 12-18, highlighting how God can change even the hardest of hearts. Are there areas where you find yourself still struggling to believe God can change a person’s heart?

Take time as a group to walk through v. 18. Think of passages that explain each of these gospel realities.

In v. 19, Paul says he was not disobedient. So what does faithful obedience to God look like in your life right now?

Festus says Paul is out of his mind in v. 24 because of his commitment to the gospel. Have you ever had a moment where you’ve been ridiculed over your belief in the gospel, or when you’ve heard others mock Biblical truth?

Overall, we see Paul continually point people to Jesus as he speaks. How can we point people to Jesus in our words, relationships, and lives?

One takeaway from Acts 26 is that the gospel calls for a response. Are there any ways you’ve found helpful in getting to this point of calling for a response to the gospel in past gospel conversations that you could share with your group?

When thinking about delivering the gospel to others, who has God placed in your life that needs to hear the gospel? What is one practical step you can take this week to pray for, encourage, or share the gospel with them?
