Digest
Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.
What does this passage show me about God?
- What does Philip do when the man asks about baptism, and how quickly does the man respond?
What does it show me about people — and about myself?
- What might hold you back from following the man's example?
What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)
- If you have not been baptized, what step will you take this week? If you have, who can you help take it?
Who will I tell?
- Who could you explain the good news to on the road, as Philip did?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
Jesus, thank you that no one is too far or too foreign for your welcome. Give me courage to obey and be baptized, and to help others do the same.
