What controversy broke out in the early church between Gentiles and Jewish believers? How was it resolved? What did it mean for followers of Jesus? Do believers still have to keep the law? What does this have to do with why Paul wrote the epistle to the Romans? How do these themes impact Christianity today? What made the New Covenant better? What was done away?
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.
