Passage: Acts 9:19-31 | Series: | Topic: ,

Text: Acts 9:19b-31

Main Idea: As Saul enters the work of the ministry; he proclaims Jesus, suffers persecution, and is rescued and encouraged by other Christians.

Points of Application:

  1. Ministry involves persistence through suffering.
  2. Ministry is always a team effort.
  3. Ministry involves making the most of peace.

Discussion Questions: What can we learn from Saul's trials? Why is Barnabas an example worth emulating? If ministry is a team effort, how can you help the team? How can Christians make the most of times of peace? What would it look like for you to walk "in fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit" today? Do you want to see the church multiply and grow? Are you willing to be used by God to do the work of the ministry? How can you serve and encourage someone by pointing them to Jesus this week?
