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.

1. The woman is the anti-Christ's mother, the male child is the anti-christ and the dragon is satan.

2. Pretty much the woman gives birth to her child and the "dragon" tries to devour him (or take over him) but God snatches him up and takes him and protects him for a while but the dragon is too strong and fights constantly and finally gets control of him and wins.....i think...

3. Well it will go through war, and a lot more...but it will pretty much be the worst time ever.
