What happened after they refused to be worshipped? What two groups teamed up to try to kill the disciples? Does God promise a life without pain for people who trust in Jesus? If someone stops trusting in Jesus, did they ever really trust in Jesus? What are some things that make it hard for people to keep trusting in Jesus?

What various tribulations did these men encounter on their first missionary journey, and which might we anticipate in our own lives? How does the word hope help us to better understand what true faith looks like? Two extremes exist: passivity and self-dependance. How does committing souls to the Lord reject both of those extremes? What does a door of faith mean and why is it needed? How does this passage beautifully and soberly teach the reformed doctrine of perseverance of the saints? When God established the Old Covenant, the division between Jew and Gentile functioned as a clear object lesson.
