Scripture Union Daily Guide 9th July 2025 Outline
Timothy’s home-training in the Scriptures must have helped him to live a godly and sacrificial life which earned him a good testimony in his home environment (Acts 16:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:5). Read Acts 16:3 again. What possible hindrance to the gospel do you notice? Does this also happen in your context? Though Paul was the preacher of “salvation by faith in Christ alone,” he circumcised Timothy to avoid any hindrance to the gospel.
The Holy Spirit prevented Paul and his team from preaching in Asia (Acts 16:6-8). What lessons can we learn from this in our obedience to the Great Commission? The Lord had an urgent assignment for them somewhere else (Acts 16:9-10). God speaks to us in diverse ways; but we need to weigh every vision on the balance of the word of God.
Read Acts 16:13-14 again and note the role of the Holy Spirit in soul winning. Ours is to preach the word, while the Holy Spirit does the conviction and conversion of the sinner. Note the impact of the newfound faith in Lydia’s life and household (Acts 16:15).
And So:
Always depend on the Holy Spirit as you preach the gospel.
Closing Prayer:
Help me, Lord, to do my services for you in accordance with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
