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 Three - The Reality of the Father's Sovereignty - Devo for 11/12/08

Reading
Psalm 103:19

Questions
“God is glorified when these believers testify, by the way they choose to handle life’s difficulties, that God is first and worthy of their undivided confidence though life in His will right now is extremely difficult."
1. What opportunities have you had so far this week to demonstrate God's glory - His firstness? (you don't have to say whether you passed or failed those opportunities...just recognizing them as opportunities is half the battle!)
2. Psalm 103:19 is to remind us of something when we are struggling through a tough time. How can this verse encourage you?
