I. Revisits Churches - Acts 16:1-5 Principle: God is worthy of sacrifice for the spiritual good of others.

Do you consider what is going to be beneficial spiritually for people you care about, or for your own life? What has more weight in decision-making, spiritual matters or physical matters?

II. Redirected by Holy Spirit Acts 16:6-10 Principle: God guides as we look to Him and is worthy of our immediate obedience.

Are we after God intensely? Always aware/looking/listening? When the opportunity comes are we ready to take it? Quick to obey

How can I cultivate more of an awareness of God/Holy Spirit in my life?

III. Results are up to God - Acts 16:11 - end of ch. 17 Principle: Persevere with TRUTH and LOVE, the results are up to God

As you're attempting to obey God and look for opportunities, don't overlook the seemingly small/insignificant things. What is right in front of you? What or who has God put in your life right now?

How do I react when things don't look like I expected them to look? Am I willing to let go of my expectations and submit to what God has given me? How can I practice not overlooking small opportunities?

How do you respond to attack? What do others hear that's coming out your mouth when you've had a bad day? What do others learn about God from you?

Do we persevere in prayer and praise thru the hard times? Do we run everything through God's word? (to know what's true) Are our hearts Provoked, because we are not indifferent? We care about people and we care that they know Jesus who is coming again.

May we keep our eyes FIXED on KING JESUS

Following Him changes everything about you!
