Season 4.5- Episode:
“Daybreak Part 3”
Acts 1:1-12
1 In the
first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught 2 until
the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the holy Spirit to
the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive
to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty
days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 While meeting
with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for “the
promise of the Father[c] about
which you have heard me speak; 5 for John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.”
6 When they had gathered
together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the
kingdom to Israel?” 7 He answered them, “It is not for you to
know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon
you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.” 9 When he had said this, as they
were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. 10 While
they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed
in white garments stood beside them. 11 They said, “Men of
Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been
taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him
going into heaven.” 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the
mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.
Acts Chapter 7
What ‘key’ are the
people in the episode arguing over and how is this a ‘key’ to all of them?
What ‘key’ has
Stephen found, and what is it a ‘key’ to?
What miracles guided
everyone to that one point on the bridge of Galactica?
Compare and contrast
Stephen’s speech and Gaius’.
Reflect on this
quote: I see angels, angels in this very room. Now, I may be mad,
but that doesn't mean that I'm not right.
Because there's another force at work
here. There always has been. It's undeniable. We've all experienced it.
Everyone in this room has witnessed events that they can't fathom, let alone
explain by rational means. Puzzles deciphered in prophecy. Dreams given to a
chosen few. Our loved ones, dead, risen. Wheather we want to call that
"God" or "gods" or some sublime inspiration or a divine
force we can't know or understand, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's
here. It exists, and our two destinies are entwined in its force.
Reflect on this quote: “How do you know God is on
your side?”
Reflect on Gaius’ response.
How is God ‘beyond good and evil’?
What created the divisions between the Christians
and the Jews?
What do you think of
what Tori did to the Chief’s wife?
What do you think of
the Chief’s response?
Reflect on Cavil’s
end.
What does it say
that Cara was able to use the music she hears to jump the ship?
How was Cara’s
experience like Gaius’ and how was it different?
Reflect on this
quote: “one might even say there is a divine hand at work.”
Where do we see the
theme of finding home throughout the history Israel, as recounted in Acts?
How do we see the
cycle of sin and redemption constantly repeating itself?
What do you think of
the decision to give up technology? What is the purpose behind this?
What does Lee say
about technology and our souls? What do you think of this?
Reflect on the last
moment between Sam and Cara, and the flashback associated with it.
Reflect on the final
fate of the Chief.
Reflect on Laura and
Admiral Adama’s last moments together, and the flashback associated with it.
Reflect on the last
meeting between Lee and Cara.
What was Cara, in
the end? What was her role, theologically speaking?
Compare and contrast
her first death with her ‘ascension’.
What do you think it
was like to be there when Jesus ascended after His death and resurrection?
Reflect on this
quote: “He’s not coming back this time…and neither am I…I am done here, I’ve
completed my journey,
and it feels good.”
Why do you think
they flashed back to the moment they did in this last meeting?
Reflect on Laura’s
death and the flashback associated with it.
Reflect on Sharon
and Helo and Hera’s fate.
Reflect on Gaius and
Six’s fate.
Reflect on this
quote: “God’s plan is never complete…but I think it’s safe to say that from now
on, your lives will be
less…eventful.”
Contrast this to the
lives of the Apostles after the plan regarding Jesus was fulfilled.
What do we learn
about the planet the refugees came to, at the end?
Reflect on this
quote: “You know He doesn’t like that name.”
