to the Holy Spirit

Acts 21:1-36
1. Paul’s situation: A dangerous resolve for Jerusalem (v 1-16)
The context of Paul’s resolve – “constrained by the Spirit”
The 1st test of Paul’s resolve: The Tyre disciples’ warnings
The 2nd test of Paul’s resolve: Agabus’ warning
2. The result of Paul’s perseverance: A predictable arrest (v 17-36)
“Honor the law:” A public plan to thwart the previous predictions
The fulfillment of the Spirit’s warnings…and Paul’s resolve
WEEKLY REFLECTIONS
1. How should we faithfully share difficult messages from the Spirit?
2. How might we sort out “contradictory” leadings from the Spirit?
a. Is there one option which doesn’t truly have godly motives?
b. Is it possible to be faithful to both/all leadings in some way?
c. If mutually exclusive, is there one you sense best honors God?
