Ps Josh - Acts 17: Confronting Mindsets | GLM
main scripture: Acts 17:1-15
points:
confronting strong mindsets requires courageous love and godly wisdom
some will be persuaded and some will be unmoved - and that’s ok
don’t be deterred by hostility and harassment - it probably means you’re flying over the target
reflection:
Was there a time when you shared your faith with someone that made them treat you differently?
How did you handle the situation?
encouragement:
We are called to make disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. There will be times when some people will accept our message and there will be times when people won’t. Be encouraged that it is the Holy Spirit that works in people’s hearts. As long as we obey the command and share the Gospel, whatever situation we find ourselves in after that, God will provide a way out.
And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
--Acts 17:2-4
