Why does Peter use temple language to describe the New Testament Church? What is the role and mission of the Church compared with the Church of the Old Testament?

This week as we explore these lessons we'll look at the stories of early gentile converts to Christianity.
God chose spiritual leaders from the, seemingly, most unqualified followers. Why? What made them the best choice? How did Jesus go about choosing the apostles who would lead His church?

We explore these themes in this week's lesson.
