Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

February 14: Leviticus 23-24; Psalm 24; Acts 21

Scripture: Acts (NIV) 21:4 Finding the disciples there [in Tyre], we stayed with them seven days…
7 …landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day.
8 …and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist…
16 …[in Caesarea] brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay…

Observation: The church was growing and spreading across the Roman Empire. Many cities had a group of believers. So Paul looked for disciples in each city where they stopped during their trip to Jerusalem.

Application: I need to keep my heart open to the Holy Spirit and my eyes and ears open to those around me. I never know where I will find another believer. I may be a source of encouragement to them or they may be a source of encouragement for me.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, today help me to notice other believers sharing my space. Help us make a connection that builds both of us up in our most holy faith. Amen
