Week two of our series: TwentyEight. Don't forget our Acts Challenge: Read through one chapter of the Book of Acts each day and pray the date. For example, today, February 13, we will read Acts 13 and pray for 13 minutes.
Last Night: Everyone. In Acts 2:4, Luke records, "And EVERYONE present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, or in other tongues, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability." Later, in Acts verses 17-21 it states, "‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon ALL people...sons and daughters...young men...old men...servants...men and women alike...everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” Everyone and all are extreme words. They are absolute. There is no room for exception. The fact is, EVERYONE who says yes to God, EVERYONE who follows Christ, EVERYONE is eligible to receive the power of the Holy Spirit.
Parent-Teen Connect
Take turns answering and discussing the following questions with your teens this week. Create meaningful conversation. Adjust questions as needed. Use one or two of these to begin a conversation. Look for teachable moment - at home, in the car, wherever. Pray and ask God to provide you opportunities to have spiritual conversations with your teens.
- Have you ever felt left out of something? Like you didn't fit, didn't belong or weren't accepted? How did that make you feel?
- How do you feel when you're included?
- What does it mean that God will pour out His Spirit on ALL people?
