This week’s Grow Pray Study (G.P.S) Guide provides an opportunity for a devotional framework to finish reading through the book of Acts, and starting the book of Luke. Each day’s readings are a chapter from Acts and how the church began and still grows.

Before you read, pray:

“Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”

As you read each day, Pastor Burkey encourages you to use the S.O.A.P. method of devotional reading (Scripture, Observe, Apply, Pray):

• Each day offers a Scripture reading.
• Then a place to Observe what you’ve read, what’s happening, what key statements are made. 
• Follow up as you Apply what you’ve just read:
  • How is God speaking to you through what you’ve read? 
  • Where is Jesus' story this week speaking into your life story this day? 
  • You might sense a sin to confess, an action to take, a word of thanksgiving or a special need to pray for someone.
• Take time to Pray to what you have sense God saying to you in this time in His word. In addition, I suggest 2 sentence prayers to end your time with God. Lord, thank you for … ___________ ... Lord, I ask … ___________ … Then close, “In Jesus name. Amen.”
