In Acts 10, God destroys our prejudice with the glorious truths of the gospel. God is not partial. The gospel is for everyone - and everyone needs the gospel. Because God is not partial, everyone who trusts in the gospel of Jesus Christ will be saved.

Lesson Four Handout - Was Joel 2 Fulfilled at Pentecost

As we see His works and share them, the Lord Jesus stimulates repentance and faith in us and others. Join us Sunday to consider how the Lord Jesus is still at work, and how that multiplies the disciples in repentance and faith.

Fear often leaves us crippled when it comes to following the Lord Jesus in His new purpose for our lives. We must grow in trusting the Lord Jesus, Who is unstoppable in multiplying His Church.

Lesson Three Handout - The Relationship of Jesus with the Father

We are all captured by transformation stories. One of the greatest transformation stories of all is that of Saul, in Acts 9. But Saul's story points to something even greater: the transforming power of Jesus Christ. His transforming power changed Saul, and it can change you too.

God accomplishes His salvation for all people through faithful believers who share the Word. As we consider this truth, we will begin to see exactly what our purpose is, and the specific ways we can accomplish our purpose on earth.

Something about the arrival of Jesus results in steady, unfaltering joy that triumphs through the difficulties of life. As the angel explained, Jesus' birth is good news of great joy for all of us.

See in this passage how the character of God - specifically His saving love - is the bedrock that produces steady joy in a person's life.

What becomes clear in this passage is that God's saving power is unstoppable. It is without rival. At the same time, God's saving power cannot be wielded, controlled, or purchased. Only those who repent and believe the gospel experience the saving power of God.
