What example does Paul set for us?

Have a

to the Gospel (Acts 17)

on the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6-10)

hardship (Acts 16, 17, 19, 21-28)

people where they are (Acts 17)

deeply for those who come to faith (Acts 18:23, 20;
1 & 2 Thessalonians)
• Encourage them about their faith in Christ
• Praise God for their endurance of persecution and evangelism
• Pray for them to grow in their faith
• Care for them like a parent
• Express a desire to visit them (and then visit them)
• Urge them to pursue holiness
• Instruct them to live in peace and work hard
• Inform them about the coming day of the Lord
• Teach them to build up one another and honor their faith leaders

Not be

by people in power (Acts 22-28)

We must ask ourselves …
How are we progressing in following the example of Paul?
What are we doing well?
What are we lacking?
What needs to change?
What is our next step?
