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.

The Conversion of Saul - Part 5 - Devo for 10/02/2009

Reading
Acts 9:1-31

Going Deeper
Read Philippians 3:1-14 for more insight into Paul's thinking about his relationship with Christ.

Exploring the Meaning
1. How does Paul compare and contrast his life before and after meeting Christ?

2. Read Romans 3. Consider the way in which Paul met Christ. Is salvation initiated by God or by humanity? What are the implications of this for your prayer life?

3. What kinds of thoughts and feelings do you imagine Paul experienced during the three days he was without sight, while he fasted and waited for divine instructions (9:6-9)?
