Unit 35 Session 1
ENDURING WITH GOD'S PERSPECTIVE
ACTS 20-22
Paul followed the Holy Spirit's guidance to return to Jerusalem and trusted in the Lord no matter the danger he faced.
Paul performed mighty miracles and revealed God's power to the believers in Ephesus (Acts 19:11-20), but that led to unwanted attention and a riot. Paul encouraged the Ephesians and then made a three-month sweep through the churches in Macedonia, encouraging them as well (20:1-6). After sailing through churches in the Mediterranean, hopping between islands, Paul chose to sail past Ephesus because he was hoping to return to Jerusalem for the day of Pentecost (20:16).
Points to consider:
✞ Following the Spirit requires
holding an eternal perspective.
* How do you see the Holy Spirit
active in the believer's life?
* In what ways has God called
you to His service to testify to
His grace?
✞ Following the Spirit requires
trusting the Lord's will.
* Where do you turn in the Bible
when you come face to face
with bad news?
* How do we keep Paul's outlook
on God's will, choosing to live
obediently in the face of danger?
✞ Following the Spirit requires
proclaiming Jesus boldly.
* How has God worked in your life
where your testimony has shaped
your current ministry opportunities?
* What part of your identity can
seem to be prioritized above your
identity as an ambassador of
Jesus and why?
