  • How does this story fit into what Jesus promised in Acts 1:8?
  • What's Luke trying to get us to understand with this passage?
  • It's easy to read Simon's response as motivated by good things, and Peter sees right through it to the real issue, his heart. What do you think Peter sees in Simon's heart?
  • Our own hearts are deceitful, in what ways do we deceive ourselves to cover up our idols?
