(the points could also be used as a discussion guide at fellowship groups)

  1. How did Sunday's sermon help in your decision-making?
  2. How do you apply Proverbs 3:5-6 when seeking to make wise decisions? Proverbs 16:3 is also interesting.
  3. How significant is the choice of such a disparate group of followers for us today? See 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. How significant is Ephesians 4:11-12 in this context?
  4. How do you understand John 17:20-23 in the context of the choice of the Apostles and the church today?
  5. Why is it important to respect "Apostolic Leader­ship?" What bearing does this have on church leader­ship today? (See 1 Thessalonians 5:12 and Hebrews 13:17).
  6. The Lord Jesus was not prepared to make any major decisions before spending time in prayer (Luke 6:12). How should we respond to this?
  7. After a night in prayer to God, what is the significance of the choice of Judas? See John 6:70 and John 17:12.
