"What Now?  A Study in Acts"Urgency, Diligence, and Grace (Acts 9:19b-31)
October 16-22, 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 9. Take time to reflect, ask questions (write them down as you go through), and then research and study the answers.  www.biblestudytools.com has a lot of great free online resources.

DISCUSS
What is the best gift you’ve ever been given?  How long did it take for your enjoyment with it to fade?  Would you say that your response to the Good News is driven with a sense of urgency?  Would you say that you are diligent in learning and knowing the gift of Jesus?  What does the gift of Jesus look like now in your life... is the grace still flowing through you?

LIVE
Take time this week to seek God.  Analyze your relationships, especially the people that don’t know Jesus.  Take the message of Christ as urgent and apply that urgency with diligence and grace.
