The Mystery of the Gentiles

Romans 11:25; Ephesians 3:1-12; Colossians 1:24-29

The conversion and call to ministry of the Apostle Paul is recorded in Acts 9. Read aloud Acts 9:10-16 to determine the nature of the call.

Read aloud Acts 11:19-26 about the Gentiles (Greek/Hellenists) explosion of faith in Antioch and the response.

Read aloud Acts 18:1-6 about Paul’s response to the abusive Jewish crowd in Corinth. See also Acts 19:8-10. Could there be times when there needs to be a shift or refocus of ministry strategy? If so, discuss why, when, and how this might be appropriate.

With these verses from Acts, along with Ephesians 3:4-6 and Colossians 1:27, conclude by discussing the blessings and opportunities we have in Christ.

Close your time in prayer.
