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.

Chapter One - Seeing the Invisible - Devo for 10/14/08

Reading
2 Kings 6:8-17

Questions
1. Why was Elisha's servant afraid?
2. Why was Elisha not afraid?

"...God does not in this dispensation [church age] of time open physical eyes to see the spiritual realm as He did for Elisha's servant. Instead, He has given us something better! He has permanently revealed everything He wants us to know about the spiritual realm in His inspired Word."

3. What does 2 Peter 1:3 say that God's Word gives us?

Be watching for the opportunity to interact with each other on this site about some of the questions in the coming days. This study will have great topics for discussion with each other.
