week of 4/14

Unit 32 Session 2

CONVICTED BY THE GOSPEL

ACTS 10

Through Peter's vision and the Lord's calling to meet with Cornelius, God revealed that the Gospel is for all people.

Acts 10 begins the longest episode provided by Luke. It still took place in Judea, but the Gospel message was about to bust through barriers in a big way. The prominence and importance of this narrative is such that we cannot overstate. If Peter did not have the teachability and obedience to follow God's lead, Christ's church may be in a quite different place today.

Points to consider:

✞   The Lord prepares people for the Gospel.

     * How can someone be a devout religious 

        person who fears God, but not actually 

        have salvation?

     * How do we know when God is giving 

        us instruction?

✞   The Lord calls His people to act in faith 

     and share the Gospel.

     * What actions do some Christians and 

        churches today think fall outside the 

        accepted Christian culture?

     * What are other ways Peter could have 

        responded to God's message and call?

✞   The Lord transforms people by the 

     power of the Gospel. 

     * How do we safeguard ourselves from

        putting the focus on ourselves instead 

        of Christ in ministry?

     * Understanding adoption, how can I 

        extend the grace of God today to 

        someone whom I consider different?
