Join the MVMNT: Spreading to Macedonia

WEEKLY: The author of both the Books of Luke and Acts is Luke, an observant, educated, historically-oriented figure and writer.

The book of Luke was given as a detailed account of the life and Gospel of Jesus to fortify the faith of the Believers. Acts is the sequel. We get the first hand account of how Jesus’ Life, Death and Resurrection went VIRAL, eventually spreading throughout the whole globe.

This fall we are going to look at a few of the tools and key elements that sparked this wildfire to see how we can continue that MVMNT here, today.

READ: Acts Chapters 16:6 - 19:20

REFLECT:

  1. How did Paul go about strengthening and establishing the churches? What additional patterns emerge in this section?

  2. What might be the phases in establishing a church from the very beginning of its existence? How long might it take to establish a church?

  3. What bearing does Paul’s process have on the multiplication of churches? How do they preserve the spontaneous expansion of the Church?

  4. What insights do we gain from Paul’s model of taking the gospel into culture that can cause our witness to have similar impact today? In what way is Acts 17 a pattern to follow today?

** While we may not agree with everything the authors/speakers say in our resources, diversity in perspectives is beneficial to growth, and we encourage an open and Spirit discerning posture while studying the Scripture and while reviewing any resource. **
