For Good | Healthy Church. You. Us. World.
Healthy You.
Simon put on a good show (literally!), but his heart was full of bitterness. He wasn’t healthy and wasn’t taking the steps to be healthy. What about us today?

Questions:
Acts 8:9-25
- Simon had built his life around achieving power, admiration, and money. As you look at our culture, what are we prone to building our lives around? How?
- Why do you think Simon “followed Philip everywhere” (v 13)?
- What were the signs that Simon wasn’t healthy?
- The Holy Spirit empowered the ministry of Philip, Peter, and James and filled the Samaritan believers. What is your experience with the Holy Spirit?
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your spiritual health? What do you sense God might be saying to you about this?

Acts 13:1-5 -The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals.
