Monday – Gospels and Acts

Reading – Acts 20

Highlight Verse:

“As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below.”
‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our pastor is an excellent speaker.

Despite that, I have the amazing talent of nodding off during his or anyone’s sermons.

I can definitely relate to Eutychus.

I could make a point about God’s amazing healing and even resurrecting power shown after Eutychus’ fall.

But what really stands out to me in this chapter is the great hunger that the people had to listen to Paul for hours on end.

They were desperate to learn everything they could from the man whom God had sent to them.

No matter what his preaching style Paul taught truth that they were eager to here.

That eagerness to learn would help us get a lot more out of sermons (and might help me stay awake through them).

How hungry are you for learning more about God?
What lessons have you heard lately that impact the way you live?
