Lesson 38

“Thou Hast Testified of Me”

“Lesson 38: ‘Thou Hast Testified of Me’” New Testament Class Member Study Guide (1997), 22


  • Paul showed great courage by telling the angry crowd in Jerusalem the story of his conversion and his vision of Jesus Christ (Acts 21:27–22:21). When have you borne testimony in a situation that required courage? How did you gain the courage to do this? How can learning about Paul’s actions help you have more courage to share your testimony with others?

  • What happened when the master of the ship sailing from Fair Havens rejected Paul’s warning that it was too dangerous to sail? (See Acts 27:7–20.) What motivated the centurion to disregard Paul’s counsel? (See Acts 27:11–12.) Why do some of us occasionally disregard our Church leaders’ counsel? How have you learned the importance of following Church leaders’ counsel?

Suggestion for Family Discussion
