Day 16: Acts 20:1-16 - Paul’s Encouraging Trip

Paul covers a lot of ground in this section, travelling from Asia to Macedonia to Greece, then back through Macedonia before sailing down the west coast of Asia on his way to Jerusalem.

What was Paul doing on his trip? (verses 2, 7-12)

What do you think Christian encouragement looks like?

The death and resurrection of the young man Eutychus made for a dramatic day at the church! This dramatic event reminds us of the ministry of Elijah (1 Kings 17:17-24) and Elisha (2 Kings 4:18-37), but also of Jesus when he raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-43).

(Tricky question) What parallels are we supposed to draw between Paul, Jesus, Elijah and Elisha and each of their circumstances?

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've challenged by from your reading and reflection today

3. Pray for UQES
