Thesis: Take intentional time to reflect on God’s goodness.
Notes:
These verses cover a 1500 mile trek taking time to reflect, renew and refresh will lead to greater fruitfulness and joy in ministry. Paul is a church planter and is heading to Antioch the first church that Paul planted. Aquila and Pricilla went with him, to set up a new branch of their tent making business to help support the missions.
Paul took a Nazarite vow, a common Jewish practice, to show his support for saving Jews.
People in the Bible who took Nazarite vows:
-
- Sampson
- Samuel
- John the Baptist
What do we see as far as Gods work in Paul’s life?
- Reflect on God’s goodness.
- God gave him fruitful ministry.
- Paul conducted regular Nazarite vows.
- Paul was overflowing with thankfulness
- God gave him fruitful ministry.
Take intentional time to reflect on God’s goodness.
Every time we stop and thank God, we recalibrate our hearts and refocus on God’s plan.
