Acts Chapter 13 and 14
"Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!...

I wanted this to be studied on a quiet day because it is here that Acts takes a turn. From now on we begin to hear about Paul and how the gospel makes its way to Rome.
As we are unlikely to have a quiet day I think I will just encourage you to read this passage and:
a) consider the sermon: 13:14-52 as three sections:
16-25 - Preparation
26-37 - Declaration
38-52 - Application
what does this passage now say to you?
b) mark out what you find stands out. Questions, words, phrases, ideas, conections….
Here are some of mine
9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said,… (I remember my own experiences of the Holy Spirit)
38 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. (Again Paul is not negating the Law)
26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, (So Gentiles did enter the speaking areas within the Temples)
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying. ( here marks the beginning of the Jews marked anger toward Paul)
