The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample
Week 44. Day 5. Acts 8-9.
Ch 8:1-8 What is the outcome of the persecution of the church?
Acts 8-9 Gospel going out in Judea and Samaria
Look for all the references to the apostles preaching in these chapters. What do they preach?
Ch 9 the conversion of Saul. What happens?
If you were making a film of this chapter, what would you focus on? (i.e. most dramatic parts of narrative)
Note: 9:15 second programmatic statement in Acts (after 1:8).
For Reflection:
What have the main emphases of the book of Acts been so far?
What do you think the purpose is of the ‘progress reports’ (noted above). How does the link to Gen 1:28 add to this picture?
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
