This week we start a new series on rebellion and redemption. Why is the world as messed up as it is today? Are the corruption, disease, pollution, and problems we observe part of God's design? What went wrong in the Garden of Eden? Is God to blame for Adam and Eve's mistake? Why did the tree of the knowledge of good and evil exist? Was mankind set up to fail? Why was humanity given power to choose? How does all this tie in with the Great Controversy and with our lives today?
What can we learn from Peter's outreach to the gentiles? How did it contrast from Paul's? What can we learn from the story of Cornelius and the conversion of his friends and family? What important lessons did Jews of the early church have to learn? What might that mean for the church today? Does culture or race matter when it comes to salvation? 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? How should we choose spiritual leaders today? How did Jesus prepare His apostles for the challenges ahead, and what might that say about how our spiritual leaders should be prepared? We explore these themes in this week's lesson.
