Acts 16, 17 and 18 - Jason

Acts 16 is the amazing story of Paul and Silas in Philippi and how they helped a few people to believe in Jesus through some amazing miracles! Lord, I pray that you will help me to know what to do in any situation and not look to save myself first, but think about how my circumstances and my response to them can be used by the Holy Spirit to bring people to Jesus Christ.

Acts 17: I loved to see some details about how Paul taught the people in the Areopagus in Athens. They were pagans, but he used things that he knew about their culture to introduce them to Jesus Christ, and some of the men and women believed. I like to see some of the details of what he said, because I can learn from that. Lord God, please help me to listen to what you want me to say as I speak to others and look for opportunities to introduce them to Jesus Christ.

Acts 18: I was interested in what Apollos was teaching the people and then Aquila and Priscilla explained to him the way of God more accurately. Luke (the author of Acts) is very general here and I wish I knew more about what was taught to them more specifically. I think I need to read and know the other books of the New Testament to see what was specifically taught by the apostles. Lord God, please help me to be teachable and look for the lessons that you want me to be learning at this time in my life.
