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: 17-30 - All Eyes Were on Joseph - Devo for 09/23/08

Reading
Genesis 39:1-23

Questions
1. Do your authorities see God in your life?
2. People who have a good work ethic, who do not complain, and who try to do their best will be given much greater privileges and responsibilities. From Genesis 39:4-6, what kind of responsibility did Potiphar give Joseph?
3. Read Ephesians 6:5-7 and explain how those verses should impact each one of us.

1. most of the times

2. overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand, and he left all that he had in Joseph's hand.

3. it encourages us to become obedient and to always do our best.
