Sharing The Word

Acts 8:26-40

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Thank God for the people in your life who have helped you to learn and grow in your spiritual journey.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. Phillip felt a “nudge” from God to help the Ethiopian. Have you ever felt a “nudge” from God? How would you recognize it? What did you do about it?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• Some people say “religion may be important but it should be kept private.” Do you agree? Explain.
• The new church grew as people like Philip shared their faith. Have you ever shared your religious beliefs with another person? If so, what happened?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Prepare yourself to help someone spiritually by gathering 3–4 key Bible verses about faith in Jesus. Think through how you would best use each one in the conversation.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. God, I want to be alert to Your “nudge” and ready to help someone who wants to know more about You.
