Daily Scripture & Questions
Acts 9-10 Why were the believers afraid or skeptical of Saul's conversion? Saul (whose Greek name would have been Paul) was powerfully used to prove that Jesus was the Christ (9:22). Are you able to give a clear testimony of your conversion and then provide a solid defense of your faith? The story line of Acts then returns to Peter's ministry. Why would Peter's ministry among the Gentiles, including Cornelius, be so remarkable? How does the paragraph of 10:34-43 capture the essence of the gospel message?
Family Devotions—Scripture & Questions
Read Acts 9:1-19. Who was Saul persecuting by attacking believers? Why was Ananias hesitant to go to Saul? What did the Lord say that Saul would do in his life (see verses 15-16)?
Biblical Prayer Focus
Acts 4:29-30 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
Seek the Lord for a holy boldness in proclaiming the truth about Jesus, no matter what threats may come your way. Ask God to stretch out His hand in powerful ways to bring glory to Jesus.
