Like Bible Geek grenades, we’re lobbing questions at each other in a new segment called “Do you understand?,” as we try to better understand a topic. This week our questions focus on the early church’s assembly and leadership. Week 9 of the Into the Book reading plan takes us through Paul’s journeys, where we — surprisingly — find some red letter words of Christ. How does Paul’s trial parallel the Lord’s? What do you want on your epitaph? And what can a dead man in the middle of services teach us about paying attention?

The Big Idea: Godly lives — past and present — illuminate the path of love and faithfulness.

Weekly Challenge: If there’s something keeping you from speaking out, conquer that fear with Christ.
