Begin your study with prayer
Pause for a few minutes to quiet your heart and mind. Then ask God for insight and direction as you study and reflect on this week’s lesson.

Spiritual Practice
A spiritual practice is something we do to interrupt our usual thoughts, feelings and patterns, enabling us to move more deeply into the life of Christ.

Pray and ask God who He wants you to share the Good News about Jesus with. Then reach out to this person and pray for God to open their heart to hear what you have to say.

Prepare for Next Sunday
Next Sunday, June 27, we’ll conclude our series titled Church Extended. To prepare, read Acts 27-28.
