Peter had to learn to let go of the cultural traditions and rules that could stand in the way of fulfilling Christ's commission to spread the Gospel. Cultural Christianity can be just as big of an obstacle to us, today, when it keep us from being fully-formed servants of Jesus.

God speaks to Peter through a dream to prepare him to put aside his old cultural biases so his mind won't be too blown when he hears that God also sent a message to a Roman centurion — a leader of oppressive army occupying Peter's country.

Have you ever been written off as a lost cause? Paul had, but Jesus called him and he became instrumental in the early spread of Christ's Church. Which leads us to ask... who have you written off that you should still be pursuing?

Guest speaker Keith Kautz shares a few important (and a little convicting) questions that he takes from the story of Jesus confronting Saul/Paul and calling him to a new ministry for Him, rather than against Him.

We apologize for publishing the past two episodes so late. We're working to have our episodes come out more reliably, so they can be a better asset for Grow Group leaders and our congregation. This week we talk about how things that make us uncomfortable are often God's way of pushing us to the next stage in our growth.

Sometimes discomfort is the thing that stimulates the biggest growth, and so it was with the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem and the Church's growth into the world we see in Acts.
