We take an invigorating journey through Acts 11, where we unwrap Peter's experience with Cornelius and the Apostles' reaction to Gentiles receiving the word of God. We confront the challenging divisions that arose among the circumcised believers and invite you to engage with us as we turn verses 1-18 inside out.
Imagine the power of the Holy Spirit actively reshaping the New Testament Church. This episode takes you on a deep contemplation on how Jewish believers grappled with the salvation of the uncircumcised, and how the Holy Spirit became the evidence of believers across all nations. From Jesus' teachings to Nicodemus about spiritual rebirth and baptism, to reflections on how the Holy Spirit propels the growth of the New Testament Church, we explore it all.
Finally, we take a profound look at how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament law, cutting through the cultural identity of the Jews, and the implications of His perfect and sinless death on the cross and resurrection. Learn how to apply principles from the Levitical Law to our lives and how living set-apart lives is at the heart of our worshipful obedience to Him. As we examine the mission of Paul and Barnabas in Antioch, we challenge you to think about the role of Christian missions in your life and the importance of dispelling myths and misconceptions in our churches. Enjoy this stimulating conversation and let the inspiring journey of learning and growth of Paul and Barnabas ignite a fresh perspective in your own ministry.
