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 Early Years - Sibling Rivalry at its Worst - Devo for 09/12/08
Genesis 37
Questions
1. Read Ephesians 4:29-32. What kind of language should never come out of our mouths? (v. 29)
2. The word corrupt means to make rotten or to ruin. How can harsh, unkind words hurt our relationship with a brother or a sister?
3. The word edifying means to build up, brag on, uplift. When was the last time you made one of your siblings feel better because you built them up and bragged on them?
4. God put verse 30 right in the middle of this passage for a reason. When we are unkind towards one another, what does this do to the Spirit of God?
5. What six things do we need to put away (get rid of) according to verse 31?
6. Read verse 32 again. How has God been kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving to you?
7. In what way can you be the same towards your brother or sister?
