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 16:1-40
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.

Process of Elimination
o
Has there ever been a time in your
life where God guided you simply by ruling out some options for you?
o
If we want God’s guidance, we must
first turn ourselves over to the doing of his will.
o
What decisions do you need to seek
God’s guidance for?
-
Other “gods”
o
In Paul’s world, there were dozens
of other “gods” that competed for the worship of men and women.
o
What things are competing for
worship in your own life? Could certain
people or possessions be diverting your attention away from God and his glory?
-
Freedom isn’t being Free
o
Paul and Silas show tremendous
freedom as they worship while chained up in prison. Do you sometimes confuse liberty with
freedom?
o
Do you have joy in Christ like Paul
and Silas?
Ask God to guide us, even if it requires
closing a few doors.
Pray that God will destroy the other
“gods” can compete for our attention.
Thank God for our freedom in Christ!
