“Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.” (Acts 15:32)

What words did Judas and Silas use to encourage the brethren and give them strength? The words they used were God's words. When we hear the things which God wants us to hear and we listen to the things that God wants us to know, we are stronger for it, and we have encouragement. God is good, and so is His Word.

Also, this is biblical proof that long sermons can sometimes be a good thing!

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Acts 15:32-41

Questions to ask:

How does this show the continuation of Jesus’ work now going on in the church?
How is the gospel, Paul’s preaching, and/or Paul’s defense received?
What is the Holy Spirit doing in this text?
What in our reading shows how Paul handled adversity and difficulty?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul. If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
