WEEKLY REFLECTIONS
1. How do we see the people of Ephesus respond to the Gospel as Paul is preaching? How does Demetrius show us the priorities of the local people?
2. How does our society reflect the indulgent nature of idolatry? How does that manifest?
3. How does our society cling to its idols? What makes it so hard to turn from idols?
4. How does pride play into the problem of idolatry? How do we see idols formed out of personal and communal pride?
5. How have the priorities of “righteous behavior” changed over time? How have the priorities of God’s people shifted over the course of Scripture? Over the course of your lifetime?
Prayer Project: Are there ways that we try to take on the role of “savior” instead of Christ? How might we be tempted to try to “fix” things on our own instead of turning to Him?
