God Opens Doors Prepared by Chris Reeves * Eastside church of Christ Gospel Meeting * October 04, 2015

God Opens Doors “Open doors” are opportunities to teach people to be right with God (1 Cor. 16:9; 2 Cor. 2:12; Rev. 3:8, 20) God opens these doors (Acts 14:27)

Doors Opened to Us Sometimes doors are opened by others (Acts 4:7; 5:19-20; 7:1; 13:15, 42; 17:19; 23:1; 24:10, 24; 26:1) Are we ready to speak when the opportunity presents itself (Acts 4:13, 20; 5:29; Heb. 5:12; 1 Pet. 3:15)?

Doors We Open Sometimes we open the doors ourselves (Acts 3:12; 8:1-4 [11:19], 30; 16:13; 17:2; 18:7; 19:2, 9; 20:20; 21:39; 28:17, 22, 23, 30) Are we caring and concerned to make the opportunity happen (Lk. 11:9-10; Jn. 4:35; Rom. 10:1)?

God Opens Doors Pray for “open doors” (Col. 4:3) Pray for “open hearts” (Acts 16:14) Pray for “open mouths” (Psa. 51:13- 15; Eph. 6:19)
