ACTS 18:23 - Acts 19
- Why did Paul go on his "third missionary journey"? (18:23) What are you doing in this area?
- How did Apollos prove that Jesus was the Christ? (18:28) Have you done this also?
- Why did some believers in Ephesus not receive the Holy Spirit? (19:1-3) What does this tell you about the importance of what you are believing? How did they come to receive the Holy Spirit? (19:4-7) How did you?
- How did God use the refusal of some of the Jews in Ephesus to believe and their maligning of the Way to His benefit and glory? (19:8-10) Under what condition does the Lord promise to have bad things work out for good in our life? (see Romans 8:28)
- How did the lord back up Paul's preaching to the Jews and Greeks in Ephesus? (19:10-12) How has the Lord backed up what you have said for him?
- What happened when some non-Christians tried to drive out evil spirits in Jesus' name? (19:13-16) What do we learn from this?
- What caused the name of Jesus to be held in high honor, the word of the Lord to spread and grow in power among the people, and Christians in Ephesus to publicly repent and change their ways? (19:13-20) Could this still happen today? The Ephesian Christians burned their scrolls of sorcery. (19:19) Is their anything you should get rid of for Jesus that you own?
- What caused the riot in Ephesus against the Christians there? (19:23-27) Is this still true to-day? What stopped it? (19:28-41) Can we still appeal to this today?
