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 - Joseph Faces Temptation Head-On! - Devo for 10/06/08

Reading
Genesis 39:6-23

Questions
How did Joseph refuse to sin? Read Genesis 39:10.

1. Write out how Proverbs 1:10 relates to Joseph's refusal.
2. According to Psalm 1:1, how does the man blessed by God deal with the ungodly, the scornful, and the sinners?

Joseph stayed away from Mrs. Potiphar and her influence. Who usually talks teens into sin...a friend? Do you have any friends that try to talk you into getting involved in sin? If you have friends that constantly try to get you into sin, stay away from them!

3. What do the following verses teach us about a Christian's choice in the friends they hang out with?
a. Proverbs 1:11-16
b. Proverbs 4:14-15
c. Proverbs 13:20
d. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17
