“On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day…” (Acts 20:7a)

How important was the Lord’s Supper to the first-century church? It was so important that even though an apostle was in town, the church gathered together to remember and break the bread of communion, and only then did they have Paul speak.

The Lord’s Supper was the reason for gathering; the preaching of an apostle was the bonus.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Acts 20:3-16

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
