Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, the giver of life, give me wisdom and understanding to serve You better in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Have you received the Holy Spirit?
Text: Acts 19:1-10 (NIV):
"19:1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples
19:2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
19:3 So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied.
19:4 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
19:6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
19:7 There were about twelve men in all.19:8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
19:9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
19:10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord."
