The Discovery Bible Study (DBS) method uses eight foundational questions meant to encourage, connect, discover, apply, and multiply. It is being used by God’s people all over the world. DBS is making new disciples of Jesus and training them to guide others in the discovery of Biblical truth. This week, we are diving into Acts 8:26-40. For additional background and context, be sure to check out the video from Pastor Jeff Tillson above.
