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.

Joseph's Family Album - A Snapshot of Joseph's Mother: Rachel - Devo for 08/13/08
Genesis 29-30
Questions
1. Remembering the customs of the time, what did Jacob and Laban have in common with the way Jacob greeted Rachel and Laban greeted Jacob?
2. There is a special joy when you know you are right in the middle of God's will. Jacob listened to his parents in his choice of a life mate while his brother, Esau, did not. According to Genesis 26:34-35, how did Isaac and Rebekah feel about the girl Esau chose to marry?
3. It is very important to honor your parents in your search for a life mate...even in the early stages. From Genesis 29:16-17, describe the appearance of Leah and Rachel.
4. According to Genesis 29:18, 20, and 30, describe Jacob's love for Rachel.
5. Using Ephesians 5:25 and Colossians 3:19 and what we learned from Jacob's love for Rachel, explain how a husband today should love his wife.
