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 Two - The Reality of God's Supremacy - Devo for 11/08/08

"We can glorify Him as...beings created for His pleasure - as we acknowledge and enjoy His "firstness." We can do so by:

Declaring His Firstness in Our Evangelism

Reading
Psalm 96:3-10

Questions
1. What did David say is the basic motivation behind world evangelization?
2. In what way is God's "firstness" not a popular message to share today?
3. How can spending much time focusing on God's glory - His firstness - give you courage to share Him with unbelievers?

1. David's basic motivation is the greatness of God.
2. Today's world is an "all about me" society. By putting God first, we deny ourselves, which is not popular today.
3. The more we think about God's greatness, the more motivated we will become to share Him with others.
