Acts 24:14, 22 (also 9:2; 18:26; 19:9,23; 22:4; 28:22) “The Way” was considered (by outsiders) a sect or division among the Jewish faith, like the Pharisees and Sadducees

(11 th ) What language did Jesus speak to Paul in?

Acts 26:14 Aramaic Why do you think God would have Luke include this information in the Chronicles of Acts?

(12 th ) In today’s reading “the Spirit” is used in which different ways? (Explain the differences)

Acts 28:25 – Paul attributes Scripture to being authored by the Holy Spirit. Eph.1:13 – Holy Spirit was given to believers as a seal of ownership Eph.1:17 – Give the Spirit of wisdom Eph.2:2 – the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience

Eph.2:18 – we both have access to the Father by one Spirit Eph.2:22 – a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit. Eph 3:5 – has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and... Eph 3:16 – he may strengthen you wit power through his Spirit in your inner being,…

(13 th ) Explain some differences between living/being in “darkness” verses “light”?

Eph.4:17-6:20 Those in darkness: Live in futility of their thinking (17) Darkened in understanding (18) Separated from the life of God (18) 1. separation due to ignorance in them which due to hardening of heart (18)

Being disobedient in secret (5:12) Being drunk and practicing debauchery (5:18)

(14 th ) Now that you have read Ephesians and Colossians back to back over the last 3 days, what are some similarities in content?

Eph.1:1-2 / Col.1:1-2 Similar greetings Eph.1:15-16 / Col.1:9-10 Give thanks for and pray for since hearing of faith

Eph.3:3-10 / Col.1:26-2:3 Gospel, the hidden mysteries Eph.2:5-6 / Col.2:12-13 Was dead in trespasses and sins Eph.4:15-16 / Col.2:19 Christ the head of the body/church Eph.5:3-6 / Col.3:5ff Things to take off, and things to put on

(15 th ) After a short list of “if’s”, a recommended attitude is given; explain the attitude?

Phili.2:1-13 The “if’s” (1-4) “your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus:” (5) (6-11) His attitude (12-13) purpose of our attitude being like His – “…to will and to act according to His good purpose.”

(16 th ) “Whatever” was used by Paul but how was his use different from our youth of today?

Phili.4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Whatever you have learned and received and heard and seen in me--practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
