2012 DECEMBER WEEK FOUR LESSON


Study 7:  The Role of the Holy Spirit in Witnessing?

Main Text: Acts 8: 26-40 

Memory Verse: Luke 12:11-12

Introduction

Jesus commissioned his disciples to be his witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the outer most parts of the world. However, he cautioned them not to move until they have received the Holy Spirit who will empower them to be effective soul winners (Acts 1:4-5). Indeed, you cannot be an effective witness unless the Holy Spirit helps you. Avail yourself to the Holy Spirit to help you in your witness.

Discussion Questions

  1. What is the role of the Holy Spirit in soul winning with respect to the unbeliever? John 16:8-11
  2. How did the Holy Spirit help Peter in his witness? Acts 2: 4, 14; 4:8
  3. What was the role of the Holy Spirit in Philip’s witness to the Ethiopian Eunuch? Take note of Acts 8:26, 29, 35, 39.
  4. What role did Philip play in the winning of the Ethiopian Eunuch?
  5. How can you become an instrument the Holy Spirit will use to win others to the kingdom?
  6. What can you do to become sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in witnessing?

Conclusion
Jesus promise not to leave us as orphans. He sent us the Helper to enable us obey Him in everything. The Holy Spirit who knows the hearts all men will convict them of their sins and help the unbeliever to accept the gospel of the Kingdom. However, the Holy Spirit is willing to lead you to these persons whose heart he has prepared.  Will you heed to his leading and direction every day at any place and time?
