Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

Responsive Questions
1. What is "new" about Jesus' command in verse 34?
2. Read 1 John 3:16. In what practical ways can we exhibit this sacrificial love?
3. Why does that kind of love convince all of humanity that we are Jesus' disciples (v. 35)?

responsive questions:

1.they must have had bitterness toward each other and needed to treat each other with more respect and love each other.

2.do something nice for someone else and help them in their time of need like if someone they loved just died we can comfort them.

3.because Jesus loved everyone so much that he died for them so if they saw how much they loved one another they would know cause they would be reflecting Jesus.
