Overview: This week\u2019s reading is packed with great lessons and interesting stories about Paul\u2019s ministry. In Galatians, you may recognize many memory verses you have had over the years. Notice particularly the fruit of the Spirit (5:22-23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in Acts, we read about many familiar people and events. We see Timothy and Lydia, Priscilla and Aquilla, and Apollos. We read the familiar story of the Philippian jailer. In that story we find one of the simplest invitations to accept Christ (see 16:31). We see Paul having a meeting with the cultural elite of Athens. We realize that they accepted Paul because of his impressive education. We also see that Paul was able to speak to them about God because he was willing to connect with them in a way they could
understand. We learn that God uses each of us and our particular abilities to accomplish His plan. Peter the fisherman had different abilities, but God used both Peter and Paul in mighty and different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
