1.  Do you have a nickname?  If so, what’s the story behind it?

2. Antioch is a turning point in the missionary work of the church and the movement of the Spirit.  What are some of the differences between the Antioch church and the Jerusalem church?

3. In verse 20, disciples of Jesus start to reach out to people who did not have a Jewish background.  In other words, they were culturally sensitive to those who would be brought into the kingdom of Jesus.  How can we be culturally sensitive to those around us?  How do we balance cultural sensitivity and guarding the deposit of faith?
