Happy Friday, and welcome back to another presentation of Bible Study Snacks. It was really nice having some time off to spend with family and friends. I hope that you all had a wonderful summer, too! As always, I'd like to thank you for joining me as we walk through the richness of God's spoken word and wisdom together. I pray that today finds you in good health and strong in faith!
This week, I would like to finish where we left off with the completion of our study of the Book of Acts, Chapter Nine (Verses 32-43).
I have designed these studies to be brief, yet packed full of good information for everyone regardless of your level of biblical knowledge. I might add that these quick studies make perfect small group discussion starters, as well!
As always, I whole-heartedly believe in the importance that any Bible study should begin with prayer. If you have your Bible ready, let's pray together...
Heavenly father, please guide us as we study your Word today; I pray that our hearts and our minds will be open so that we will not only receive your Gospel, but learn from it as well; you are the Light of the world, Lord, and your Spirit will illuminate our path as we journey through your teachings. In the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen
If you are taking notes for yourself, or using this for a bible study with others, here are the objectives for this week's lesson...
OBJECTIVES: This week, the reader will...
1) Note two miracles by Peter, and the affect they had on many people who heard about them.
For your convenience, here is a summary of Acts 9:32-43.
Luke records two miracles performed by Peter. The first in Lydda, where Peter healed Aeneas, a man paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. This led many in Lydda and Sharon to turn to the Lord. In nearby Joppa, a disciple named Tabitha (Dorcas) became sick and died. Having heard that Peter was in Lydda, the disciples sent for him to come without delay. Peter raised Tabitha from the dead, leading many people in Joppa to believe on the Lord. Peter then remained in Joppa for many days, staying with Simon, a tanner.
REVIEW QUESTIONS:
1) Where did Peter go and what did he find there? (Acts 9:32-33)
2) What did Peter do and what was the result? (Acts 9:34-35)
3) Who died at Joppa, and what did the disciples there do? (Acts 9:36-38)
4) When Peter arrived, what did he see and what did he do? (Acts 9:39-41)
5) What happened when this became known throughout all Joppa? (Acts 9:42)
6) What did Peter then do? (Acts 9:43)
After completing this weeks' study, go back and read through it again. Take your time and read each topic and scripture reference as many times as you feel necessary. Keep in mind that by doing this, you just might see something new that you overlooked the first time around.
As we journey through the Bible together, I will continue to pray that God’s message will come through to you loud and crystal clear. Until next time, I wish everyone a blessed week!
God bless you!
