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.

Opening the Seals - Part 3 - Devo for 01/28/2009

Reading
Revelation 6:1-7:17

Questions
1. The first seal depicts a time of worldwide peace. How will this aid in lulling the people of the earth into a false sense of security?
(Verses to consider: Daniel 9:24-27; 1 Thessalonians 5:3)

2. What kind of judgment did the breaking of the second and third seals unleash upon the earth?
(Verses to consider: Daniel 11:36-45; Mark 13:7, 8; Luke 21:9)

3. What will be the results of the breaking of the third, fourth, and fifth seals?

1. People will feel like all the problems are gone and that now there will be peace on the world. They will think there is safety in the world.

2. The second seal brought war and the third poverty and shortage of food.

3. They will bring destruction and punishment to the earth.
