About 40 Days With. The Acts Of The Apostles, Vol. 2: A

Acts of the Apostles (commonly called ‘Acts’) tells the story of the early church and how it spreads throughout the Roman Empire. Would you like to ‘dig deep’ and spend 40 days reflecting upon, journaling, and praying through the Acts? Written by Luke as a continuation of the Gospel of Luke, Acts is really a book about the work of the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit, the apostles (formerly disciples) share the good news of Jesus Christ. In addition to the ministry of the apostles, Paul and Barnabas emerge as new leaders who spread the Gospel far and wide. The apostles and early these evangelists face many challenges. Yet, empowered by the Spirit, these messengers of Christ share and spread the good news. 40 Days with…The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1 begins just after the resurrection, with Jesus still appearing to the Disciples. The story continues with Jesus’ ascension up to heaven and the early ministry of the now Apostles. Volume 1 concludes with Paul and Barnabas being chosen by the Holy Spirit for their first missionary journey. 40 Days with…The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2 continues with the first missionary journey and follows Paul on his second, third, and fourth missionary journeys. Acts concludes with Paul’s arrival in Rome as he waits for his chance to appeal to Caesar. Spending 40 days absorbing Acts is an opportunity for an enriching and rewarding experience in just a few short weeks. While designed for individual use, this book is easily adaptable for use in small groups. Through daily study and reflection, you’ll open your heart to the Holy Spirit and listen for how the scriptures are speaking to you each day. This devotional journal is designed to help you grow spiritually in two ways: Your Biblical Literacy – develop you knowledge of this book by immersing yourself in it for a season. Your Biblical Intimacy- move beyond knowledge and learn how to let Scripture speak to you each day. When these two things are developed and practiced, we allow more room for our relationship with God, allow God to speak to us, and are drawn closer to God. Dedicated, daily time reflecting on Scripture helps you grow in your faith and also helps to keep your daily life in a proper perspective. Patterned on the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, or “praying the Scriptures”, the Scripture is our focus in this devotional journal. This resource was designed to help you create space for God to speak to you through the Scripture of the day. Listen to what God is saying to you through the Acts of the Apostles. Studying scripture in 40-day segments makes our study more manageable and perhaps more importantly, increases our ability to stick with it as a daily practice. If you haven’t done this kind of devotional before, I really think you’ll be amazed at what this kind of daily practice will do for you. Be sure to look for other 40 Days with… volumes! Make the decision to spend a little time with God’s word every day for just six weeks. You’ll be glad you did.
