What Now? A Study in Acts (Pt. 18)
Whine or Worship? (Acts 8:5-25)
September 11-17, 2011
PRAY
Before you begin reading, reflecting, discussing, and applying, begin by
opening your heart up to our Savior and Lord. Praise Him and ask Him
to incline your heart to His. Invite Him to search your heart and make
Himself known.
STUDY
Read Acts 8. Continue to read Acts to get more comfortable with this part of our history. We encourage you to make time to sit down and read all of Acts in one sitting at some point... the context of everything really hits home then.
DISCUSS
Are we talking, praying, and acting in the power of the Spirit to see those around us loosed from the bondage of sin and demonic power? Do we call ourselves a Christian and yet hold grudges, bitterness, anger, jealousy or withhold forgiveness towards others... whether they are a people group or an individual? Are our motives in following Christ pure and humble? Or are we here for selfish reasons?
LIVE
Take your answers to the above discussion and apply them to your life this week. Seek out the motives of your heart. Seek out the gift of the Holy Spirit. Move as He directs you and share the Word... be a witness (a martyr) by dying to self and loving/forgiving others.
