The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Acts 9:19b-31
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of his word.
Read the passage.
-
Transformation
o
Saul comes to the synagogues in
Damascus, but rather than rounding up Christians, he is proclaiming Christ! Do those around us notice a transformation because
of our faith in Christ? Are we different
than we were before we accepted Jesus as our Lord?
-
Suffering
o
Saul has people plot to kill him not
once, but twice early on in his Christian walk.
What does it mean to suffer for Christ?
How are you sacrificing for Jesus and for others?
-
Community
o
Saul alone experiences Jesus’ on the
road to Damascus, but he is soon joined by others as he grows in his
faith. How is community an essential
part of our faith formation? How do you
take advantage of the strength offered through community?
Pray that others will see Christ transform
who we are.
Pray that we will endure suffering
for the name of Christ, and joyfully sacrifice to further God’s kingdom.
Pray that our community will be one
that provides strength, comfort, and hope for those seeking to follow
Jesus.
