Scripture Union Daily Guide 8th July 2025 Outline
Judas and Silas were knowledgeable and trustworthy; they obeyed promptly to serve the church (Acts 15:30). Read Acts 15:31-32 and highlight the outcome of their visit. Notice in Acts 15:33 that in the family of God, the sharing of blessing is not one-sided. The leadership role of setting forth Biblical Gospel truth must be taken seriously by church elders in order to promptly address any emerging errors/heresies (Acts 15:35).
Imagine how these pillars of the church and bosom friends, Paul and Barnabas, could allow disagreement of opinion to separate them and hinder the great work of follow-up they intended to do as a team (Acts 15:39-40). Disagreement can come between two believers but what matters is how it is handled. Note that Paul did not harbour bitterness or hatred towards John Mark; for he later asked Timothy to bring him as a needed helper (2 Timothy 4:11). Barnabas continued to train Mark whom Paul needed at the most critical moment of his life. Paul and Silas, supported by the brothers, went on strengthening the churches.
And So:
Never give up on anyone!
Closing Prayer:
Lord, please give me a calm spirit to work and live in peace with others and be a channel of blessing to your Church.
