Have you ever wondered how you might go from people desiring to worship you to them stoning you? That's what happens to Paul in this passage today, and Andy helps us walk through why - and what it matters to us now! Get ready to lay down your own idols and "gods" as we press into Jesus together.

Discipleship. A buzz word? A scary word? A misunderstood word? Today we see the simplicity of discipleship and how we each can, and should partake in discipling people!

Paul and companions share the full gospel message, which is still just as applicable to us today as it was to those 2000 years ago!

This passage marks a key transition in the early Christian mission. After completing their relief mission in Jerusalem, Barnabas and Saul return to Antioch with John Mark. In Antioch, during a time of worship and fasting, the Holy Spirit calls Barnabas and Saul to a new missionary journey. They are sent out and travel to Cyprus, where they preach the word of God. In Paphos, they encounter a sorcerer named Elymas who opposes them, but Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, rebukes him, and Elymas is struck blind. This dramatic event leads the Roman proconsul, Sergius Paulus, to believe in the gospel, impressed by the power of God. Let's jump in with Andy, as we look at this section!

Today we see how God cannot be stopped. If we would but give him all control, and set aside our pride, He will move in us instead of in spite of us.

Death, persecution, and miraculous freedom from prison are al in this section of Acts, but most importantly may be to remember that God is more powerful than all things in the world. Join Andy today as we unpack this whole section!

The first "Christians" appear here, as well as the church expanding to many different people groups as a life-giving orchard!

Conflict. An interesting thing to find among those who first were sold out to Jesus, and yet, it happened! Today we unpack how Peter and the early church began to understand and deal with all that God was doing when He began adopting the gentiles into His family too.

Today we look at the same story as last week, but focusing on the lens of Peter. There is so much Jesus will speak to us if we look at things from different angles through the power of His Spirit!

Over the next few weeks we will be looking at the "Gentile Pentecost" as some have called it. Today we dive in, seeing things through the eyes of Cornelius!
