The hatred between the Jews and Gentiles had gone back centuries. The Church had been born but the barriers had not come down. Israel should have been a light to the nations. Now it was the Church’s turn to learn that God does not consider Gentiles to be unworthy of salvation. Cornelius (a Roman Centurion) and those with him were about to be born into the family of God. The Holy Spirit was being poured out to the Gentiles.Study Acts 10 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio on Return to the Word.

After boldly witnessing for Christ before the Sanhedrin, Stephen was allowed to see the fulfillment of this promise from the Savior. Stephen died with great assurance before Christ.How we handle our own death speaks to what we believe.

There are defining moments in life that will change us forever. These times can inspire us or they can hurt us. Moses had one of these amazing experiences when he directly encountered God. Stephen reminds the Sanhedrin of the life of Moses to show that God worked in powerful ways outside of the Promised Land. Moses failed under his own strength, and once seasoned by God he became a great deliver for the people of promise.In the life of Moses, we find guidance for today. Moses learned to dare to forsake his own plans for God’s. Study Acts 7:20-37 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio on Return to the Word.

The name of Jesus is enough to bring worldwide division. Many people hate Him, deny His existence, or suggest that He never claimed to be God. This type of division and hatred is not new.The pages of the New Testament reveal that the Messiah of Israel had created a direct conflict with the Jewish men of religion. Like many today, their understanding of the Son was insufficient. Jesus was claiming to be God, and He was claiming to be equal to the Father.

The Apostle Paul and his team had been forced to leave the new Christians at Thessalonica behind. The door had now been opened for false accusations to be made. What were the true motives behind these men that had come to town? Were they simply after money? Were they being deceptive? Why did they leave so unexpectedly?This was more than a battle for Paul’s reputation. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was on the line. The work of Christ was under attack.
