Get Out Of The Way
In Acts 11, Peter's experience with Cornelius and the other Gentile believers from the previous chapter make waves amongst the Jewish Believers. Hans challenges the Oaks to not stand in the way of God breaking down barriers to salvation.
Breaking Barriers
Hans challenges the Oaks Location to look for barriers we put up between ourselves and others for the gospel to break down - from Acts 10.
Then Christmas Happened: The Greatest Reversal Of All
Christmas represents a story of great reversal. Paul captures this reversal on multiple levels in Ephesians 2. Before Christ, we were far away from God, separate from Him on account of our sin. Gentiles were especially far away from Him. Then, the Cross happened. But before the Cross happened, Christmas happened. God became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Christmas explains why the Cross mattered. For, Jesus was not just an exceptional human being. He is God, and as such, He is perfectly righteous. That is why the shedding of His blood on the Cross was sufficient to bring the unrighteous to God. And that is precisely what He did. Now, we have been brought near to God in Christ, by grace through faith. All Christians are now seated with Christ in the heavenly realms and Gentiles in Christ are actually fellow-citizens of God's people, members of God's household, and part of a holy building indwelt by God Himself.
Gentile Reception
We continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark, asking Jesus to teach us as his disciples.
