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
- What is the role of the Holy Spirit in
soul winning with respect to the unbeliever? John 16:8-11
- How did the Holy Spirit help Peter in
his witness? Acts 2: 4, 14; 4:8
- 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.
- What role did Philip play in the
winning of the Ethiopian Eunuch?
- How can you become an instrument the
Holy Spirit will use to win others to the kingdom?
- 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?
