A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What can Eutychus teach us about staying spiritually attentive?
Wigglesworth begins with Eutychus in Acts 20 and calls believers to stay attentive to the Holy Spirit’s work.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 20:7–12 · KJV
Eutychus falls asleep during a long gathering and falls from the window. Paul goes down to him, and Luke ends the scene with the people comforted.
From the passage to daily life
Wigglesworth uses the scene to ask what it means to be possessed by the Spirit. Read the gathering’s response to the young man alongside that application.
