  1. What were the three qualifications needed to replace Judas?
  2. Why did the disciples cast lots?
  3. Why is the Act 1 account the last time that casting lots is mentioned in the New Testament as a way of discerning God’s will?
  4. What did the disciples do in preparation for the coming gift of the Holy Spirit? What should we do to apply this to our lives?
  5. What is the key phrase used at the Council in Jerusalem (Acts 15:28) and how can we apply it to our lives?
