Hey All,
It was good to see several of you in Sunday School on April 3rd and I hope we can build momentum from here as we continue to study Made to Make a Difference. If you couldn't make it, I want to challenge you to come the following weeks and you can get caught up with the video by clicking here. If you don't have a rightnowmedia.org account, simply use my email ([email protected]) and the password media123 to login. Meanwhile over the next few days here are some Bible readings in Acts related to our Topic.
Below is a list of the passages followed by a brief background of what's happened in the Book of Acts prior to what you will be reading. Read one or more of these passages daily. Then think about and/or journal on the four questions at the bottom for each passage.
Passages
Acts 4: Read entire chapter (Peter and John had just attracted public attention by healing a lame man.)
Acts 8: 1-3, 26-40 (So far, the church had stayed put in Jerusalem, but church leader Stephen had just been stoned to death.)
Acts 10: Read entire chapter (At this point, all Christians were Jewish. The church had not yet reached out to Gentiles, since they considered them “unclean” or unholy.)
Acts 16: 16-40 (Paul and Silas were taking the gospel into Europe for the first time.)
Questions
What world-changing qualities did Jesus’ followers demonstrate here?
Where did they get these qualities?
What difficulties did they face?
What lessons did they learn?
