Hi, everyone!Happy Friday, and welcome back to another presentation of Bible Study Snacks! I hope everyone had a nice week! As always, I thank you so much for joining me as we walk together through the richness of God's spoken word, and wisdom. I pray that today finds you in good health and strong in faith!
This week, I would like to continue our study of the Book of Acts, with Chapter Twenty-one, Verses 37-40.
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) Observe Paul's request to address the violent mob as he entered the barracks.
For your convenience, here is a summary of Acts 21:37-40...
Paul asks to speak to the commander. The commander asks him if he can speak Greek. The commander also asks if he is the Egyptian leader of the assassins. Paul replies that he is a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, "a citizen of no mean city." Paul then requests to speak to the people. The commander gives Paul permission to speak to the people. Paul then begins to speak to them in Hebrew. (37-40)
1) When Paul asked to speak to the commander, what two questions did he ask Paul? How did Paul respond? (Acts 21:37-39)
2) With the commander's permission, in what language did Paul speak to the people? (Acts 21:40)
After completing this week's study, I encourage you to go back and read through the material 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!
Sheri
