2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • How does God turn Saul from persecutor into preacher, and what does he have to show Peter before Cornelius's household can hear the gospel?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Ananias had to greet the man he feared as 'Brother Saul.' Who have you written off that God may already be at work in?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Peter said, 'I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.' What barrier of culture, class, or history will you cross this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Cornelius gathered his relatives and close friends to hear Peter. Whose house could open the gospel to a whole household — and what is your part?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
