1. Read the account of the Law being given at Sinai and the people’s response to Moses’ delay (Exodus 19, 32). What does it reveal about the character of God, and what does it reveal about the tendency of people to trust in themselves?
2. Consider the dynamic of human responsibility and divine sovereignty. Where have you seen that tension in your life? How does the truth of Peter’s sermon in Acts 2 provide clarity for present times and hope for future times in the middle of that tension?
3. Consider the weight of the phrase “you crucified and killed.” When you think of the reality of sin in your life, what sins come to mind? What are some that don’t come to mind as quickly but which separate you from the life of God?
4. What do you need to repent of?
