The Importance of Re-Focusing - Week 8
Acts 20:17-38
1. Paul bravely headed to Jerusalem even though he was not promised a warm welcome there. How do you find courage to face the trials of life? How can you help others find courage in their lives?
2. Humility, tears, testing, opponents, wolves, and hard work. These are not "fun" words, but these are the words that Paul used to describe his ministry. If this is what Paul faced, why are we surprised when things aren't "fun" in our lives?
3. The kingdom of God, which basically means God's exercising his reign on earth, is a theme in this passage and the dominant theme of Jesus' preaching. How are you participating in the reign of God where you work, live, and play?
4. Acts 20:35 says that "we must help the weak." Who are the weak among us? How are we to help them? What are some practical steps you and your community can take in the next few days to help the weak in our midst?
