Throughout the book of Acts the word “strengthen” is used to describe spiritual growth, for example, “He (Paul) traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.” (Acts 15:41) To strengthen or strengthening is the Greek verb, “epistērizō”. The noun, “epistolē”, or English, “epistle” used to refer to the letters in the New Testament. How were believers strengthened in the following verses?

Acts 14:21-23 ---
Acts 15:31-33 —
Acts 15:40-41 —
Acts 16:4-6 —

How (and with whom) is the Holy Spirit leading you to tell/show the gospel this week?
