Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
As we’ve read Acts, we’ve worked to memorize Acts 2:37–41. Test your memory by reciting the entire passage. If you don’t have it all memorized yet, keep coming back to the passage until you do!
37 When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 40 With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!” 41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.

Acts has been a very good study. The memory verse from Acts 2:40 is the one that seems to really convict me. Exhorting them to save themselves from this crooked generation seems like such a warning for such a time as this❤️
Jesus is king and he will make sure I go to the right college he picks out for me!!!!
Poppy I will be praying for you and your family.
Praying for your daughter Beverly.
These verses and the whole book of Acts tie in wonderfully with our next study. Last night I sat down and read the editor’s letter and the introduction in the book. “One Another,” I think is something needed right now. I can’t wait. Acts was a powerful, informative, awe-inspiring, refreshing and “down-to-our-roots” book that I need to read at least once a year to remind myself of the who, what, where, why and how of my faith. Also, to remind me of the ones who gave their lives to get The Message out so I could learn The Message and The Word.
May you all be blessed and may the Lord keep you safe sisters.
Devin, Heather, since you liked this one so well I really think you will like the next one.
Beverly, my two boys and I lived with my parents for a while and I kept thinking I was going to move out but I’m glad I didn’t the influence they had, especially my dad since there was no major father figure around for them, was great. They were able to fill gaps I couldn’t and it brought them much closer. My son, Andrew, tells me all the time he now is so glad we lived with them. I know you are thinking of them and they need to be independent but think of the influence you and your husband can make, I speak from experience. Yeas there will be trying times, my parents and I had them but these children will have three loving adults looking after them instead of one. God bless you for taking them in.
Praying for all those who asked for prayers.
Asking for prayer for my youngest daughter and my two grandchildren, that they find housing just for them. Up until 2 months ago they lived with my husband and I. I’m praying for all things to become possible for them because we won’t always be here and I want to know that they will be stable. In Jesus’ name, amen. Thank you in advance for all your prayers SRT sisters.
Love! I was really impacted by “…this is for you and your children…” As a mom I am taking and holding on to that promise for my children
Thank you Kelly for all your follow up posts on the prayer requests so we can keep praying specifically and watch for updates. Praying this morning for all here sick, scared, grieving and going through stressful times that you and your loved ones will have peace and healing. Also joining Poppy’s prayer to witness to others starting with our families. Thank you Rhonda for mentioning the Unfolding podcasts – I listened to 3 and they were so inspiring.
Poppy. I’m pratap for Amy and Rosie now.
What an Incredible study! I don’t comment often but I read them everyday and pray for you all and receive from the Lord through your insights. Have a wonderful Sunday!
I have loved studying Acts with you all, even though I have not posted or commented much. The study of this book has grown and deepened my faith so much and I am so thankful for God’s Word. What a gift He has given us in His Word, His Son and His Spirit. Lord, may I boldly speak Your name and the Gospel message with authority and power only your Spirit can give me.
Exactly.
This has been an amazing study. I’m so thankful I participated in reading through Acts with you all!
Praying for you Poppy, for the Holy Spirit’s leading, for your sister Amy and Mom to hear and understand the love they have in Christ. Lord hear our prayers, thank you for loving those we love, we know you gave it all for our redeption Jesus, thank you for boldness in love.
Praying for the Holy Spirit to help you share the gospel with boldness to your family, Poppy!
I love how Peter was able to preach with such boldness! And how the Holy Spirit used him to reach so many people for Christ.
With many other words he bore witness to them. Peter was bold, may we witness with the boldness of Peter, who is himself showing the power of the holt spirit at work in and through him. I pray for my family that I would have opportunity to witness to them this coming week and that they would believe. Please pray especially for my sister Amy’s openness to the gospel and my mum Rosie
