Note the acts of a sinful nature. Is God revealing anything to you through this list?
Write down each Fruit of the Spirit.
That life is available to you if you choose to allow the Spirit to work in you. What does Paul tell us about those who belong to Christ?

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor, and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.

What did you learn about Jesus as Messiah?
What was revealed to you about the power of the Holy Spirit?
After studying the passages from last week do you see your role differently?

The Spirit Comes

Acts 2

How did the power of Holy Spirit show itself as it came upon the apostles?
What happened immediately after they were filled with the Holy Spirit?
Through this action God was able to reveal Himself to the many Jews gathered in Jerusalem. What caught their attention?
In turn this gave Peter the opportunity to so share the truth (his first sermon). He powerfully connects prophecy with Jesus & The Spirit. Note the fulfillment of scripture.
Peter assures Israel of one thing in verse 36. What is it?
The people who heard Peter were cut to the heart and they asked what they should do. What is Peter’s answer?
Who is the promise for?
That is you!!!!!! The promise is for you! And so is the warning! What is Peter’s warning?
That warning is the same today. Remember God’s truth is the same today as it was then! What does it mean to save yourself from a corrupt generation?

Pray about it…is there anything that you have let creep into your life that is part of this corrupt generation? I will be praying that the Holy Spirit will strengthen and guide you as you draw closer to Christ …

You are a Witness

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Acts 1:1-10

The book of Acts was written by Luke who coincidently wrote the book of Luke – hee hee. The first verses of Acts sum up the final verses of Luke. Note the similarities.
What is the difference between what John baptized with and what Jesus promised?
What does Jesus tell his disciples they would receive when the Holy Spirit comes on them?
When they are clothed with this power what does Jesus tell them (and you) their role will be?
Jesus Was taken up to heaven! How did He go and what are we told about His return to earth?
You have your own eyewitness account of the power of Christ in your life! How has Jesus changed and transformed you? Write your eyewitness testimony…
Who can you share it with today?

Clothed with Power

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Luke 24:36-53

What is the first thing Jesus says when he appears to His disciples, and what does that reveal about what a relationship with Him can bring you?
The disciples still do not quite get it. What does Jesus do to prove himself?
He reveals He has risen in bodily form by exhibiting human characteristics. What are they?
Jesus opened their minds – what did Jesus tell about himself?
What did Jesus promise His father would send and what would that clothe them with?
You can be clothed with the same thing! Paul reminds us that he can do everything through Christ who gives him strength (Philippians 4:13). What do you need His strength for today?

I Am With You

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Matthew 28:16-28

When they saw Jesus what did the disciples do?
If you were face to face with your risen Savior what would you do?
What are the specific instructions Jesus gives the disciples and you?
What is the promise that Jesus gives us at the end of the passage?
He is with you!!!! Think of how that changes your perspective on your needs for this day. Write about it…

CHALLENGE – Memorize Matthew 28:20. This was one of my children’s memory verses in Community Bible Study. It has stuck with me and become such a comfort.

A Risen Messiah

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Isaiah 53 John 19:38-20:18

It is amazing see read Isaiah 53 and see all the ways that Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecy of life, death and resurrection. Note some specific verses in these two passages that point to Jesus as the Christ.
Isaiah 53:10 paints a picture of Jesus’ death as a guilt offering. But 53:11 reveals what comes after His suffering. Note what comes next…
In the John passage, Jesus tenderly speaks with Mary in the garden and shares with her where he is going. What does Jesus share with her?
Alleluia he is alive!!!!! He is with our God in heaven and has bore our sin & taken our punishment that we might have life and peace in him. Are you willing to accept that at gift? Are you willing to let Him transform you?
