Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

The Gospel to the Gentiles - Part 5 - Devo for 10/09/2009

Reading
Acts 9:32-12:25

Going Deeper
Paul later gave a theological explanation of the historical events recorded in Acts 10-11. Read Ephesians 2:11-22 for this explantion.

Exploring the Meaning
1. What is the gist of Paul's argument? What is he saying?

2. What truth was Peter beginning to grasp when he remarked that God shows no partiality (10:34)?
(Verses to consider: Deuteronomy 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7; Job 34:19; Romans 2:11; 3:29-30; James 2:1)

3. What evidence or lines of argument did Peter use to clam his Jewish brothers who were alarmed and outraged by the salvation of the Gentiles (11:1-18)?
