Discussion Questions: What was it that brought such deep conviction to the listeners of Peter's sermon? Describe a time when you felt deep conviction? What brought it about? What is the purpose of conviction? What is the Biblical response to conviction? What does it mean to repent? How are repentance and forgiveness of sins linked? How big is the scope of God's plan of redemption - who is it for? Why is it necessary for God to take initiative in salvation? Have you been baptized? Why/why not? How does God grow His church? What is our part in church growth? Have you responded to the Gospel? How are you a "preacher?" Are you living on Jesus' mission?
