Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • How does Paul begin with what the Athenians already know and believe before announcing Jesus?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What do people in the community you intend to reach already believe or long for that could become a bridge?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • When will you walk your intended planting area this week the way Paul walked Athens, looking and listening?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • With whom will you share one bridge you found, and use it to open a gospel conversation?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Lord, Paul found a bridge to the gospel in the middle of Athens' idols. Give me eyes to see the bridges in my own city.
