The Flame Spreads

“This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.” (Acts 19:10)

Paul taught in one place, the school of Tyrannus, and all of Asia heard the word of the Lord.  This speaks to the power of the gospel.  We don’t need to keep the faith; we need to share it.  Paul shared the faith, and those whom he shared it with spread the word further until all Asia was blanketed with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If we each shine our lights where we are, the flames of the gospel will ignite other torches, too.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Acts 19:1-10

Questions to ask:

  1. How does this show the continuation of Jesus’ work now going on in the church?
  2. How is the gospel, Paul’s preaching, and/or Paul’s defense received?
  3. What is the Holy Spirit doing in this text?
  4. 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
