Does God withhold blessings from people when He is not put first? What are some of the ways we don't put God first in our lives? In this week's study, John Spellman and Joseph Williams explore the return of God's people from captivity as they rebuild their own homes and leave God's temple in ruins. What was significant about the temple being left in ruins? What does God being "with us" really mean?
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.
