Digest

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

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • God sends Philip a long way to meet one person. What does that tell you about how much one person matters to God?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • The man is reading the Bible but says he needs somebody to help him. What does Philip do first — talk, or ask?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • Philip runs when God tells him to go. What is one thing you think God wants you to do this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is somebody you could read a Bible story with this week?

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

God, you sent Philip down a desert road to meet just one man who wanted to understand the Bible. Thank you that you know exactly who is looking for you. Help me listen when you tell me to go and talk to somebody.
