MAY 24 | ACTS 10 | PETER & CORNELIUS

  1. Describe a time when you unexpectedly felt welcomed in a place where you thought you might not belong. What was that experience like for you?

  2. Read Acts 10:9-22. Peter is pushed out of what was familiar and comfortable. What specific things did God use to challenge Peter’s attitude toward Gentiles? What does that show Peter about God’s heart?

  3. Read Acts 10:34-35. How does the Gospel challenge our assumptions about belonging (either the insider mentality (“insiders only”) or outsider mentality (“nobody belongs anywhere”)?

  4. Read Acts 10:36-43. What is Peter’s main point. Why do you think the death, resurrection, and forgiveness of Jesus are repeated so often throughout Acts?

  5. Why can it sometimes feel difficult to believe that God’s grace is for us personally?

  6. Who might God be calling you to welcome, pursue, serve, or share Christ with this week?
