(Note: For remote participants and BFG leaders, these questions are meant to be used in conjunction with the pastor’s sermon. Attempting to use these questions absent the sermon’s teaching could lead to unbiblical or unhelpful conclusions.)

For Kids:  What Jesus offers is more valuable than anything in the entire world. During today’s sermon, we learned what that means. See if you can pick out what Jesus offers that’s so valuable and why it’s important to you.  

• According to the passage, what does Jesus offer that’s so valuable? 
• Why is what Jesus offers so important to you? 
• How would you share this truth with a friend?  

 
For Discussion:

• Sermon Recap:  
  • What was the lame man asking for in Acts 3:3?  
    • What was the greater need he didn’t know he could or should ask for?  
    • How is his mindset similar to that of people today who may seek help from the church?  
  • Peter told the lame man, “I have no silver and gold” (Acts 3:6). How does his response stand in contrast to some ideas of charity?  
  • What does it mean that Peter healed the man “in the name of Jesus Christ” (Acts 3:6)? How do some Christians/churches today misapply passages like this?  
  • How does what happened to the lame man connect with other miracles in the Bible? Why are these connections important? (Direct the group toward Luke 5:17–26 for discussion if necessary.)  
      
• Going Deeper:  
  • In the parable of the unrighteous manager, Jesus told his disciples, “And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9). What did Jesus mean by this statement?  
  • Considering this parable alongside the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, how are we to treat earthly wealth in light of the greater work of Christ?  
  • How have you seen Christians use their wealth to point to the greater reality of Christ?  
      
• Application:  
  • If the church doesn’t point people to salvation in Christ, who will? Why is that such an important question?  
  • How can you make sure that you care for other’s physical needs while staying focused on the weightier matter of sharing the gospel?  
  • How can this group support one another as we care for the lost in this world?
