But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
These are the men who have turned the world upside down and have now come here.
Acts 17:6
God has given us his Spirit to turn the world upside down by displaying his love. Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth represent expanding geographic areas of influence.
What would you consider to be your Jerusalem? This could be as simple as your neighborhood, gym or workplace. What do you think?
What is your Judea? This would be someplace that is more of a stretch for you to reach outside your immediate life rhythms.
What is your Samaria? This is that group of people who are different from you and with whom you disagree or dislike.
What is your "ends of the earth?" Have you thought about how you could be a blessing in someway outside of your borders? Is there a people group that you have a burden for?
Share some ways that you have shared love of Christ in one or more of these areas of influence.
Are there any areas in your life that you feel are an obstacle for you and blessing people in this way? If you're comfortable with it, share that with your group. How would you overcome that? How can you help someone else overcome their obstacles?
