What made Paul decide to go to Macedonia to preach? Does God decide who will hear the Gospel first based on how good they are? Are all people guilty- even those who have never heard of the Bible? What are the ways that show everyone that there is a God who made them? Can any other god other than the God of the Bible serve as an explanation for the world that we live in? Who should we tell the Gospel to? How do we know who we are most responsible for? Explain how the supernatural unusual moments in the Book of Acts set a pattern for the ordinary ways which the Church is to follow Christ for the rest of history. What is the doctrine of providence? Explain how being governed by the promises and commands of Scripture guard us from seeking Gods will in an irresponsible or frantic manner. This passage demonstrates that it was Gods gracious wisdom that directed the initial spread of the Gospel (and the subsequent way as well!). How is this a corrective to ethnic pride or ethnic prejudice? How is this passage helpful to direct our own ministry efforts?

How does this passage affirm the importance of the local church in calling elders? What does it mean to be well-spoken of? How does this passage affirm the critical vocation of motherhood? Paul gives rebukes for requiring circumcision for believers. Why then in this passage is Timothy circumcised? How did the circumcision of Timothy actually help in the argument against the necessity of circumcision? When would a pastor sacrificing his rights strengthen the church? Why must we be careful to insist that Christs rule governs the church and not the preferences of those in the church (or outside)? What would be the goal in managing both Christian freedom and sacrificial love for the people of God? Paul and his team travelled to various towns to insist that the churches observe the ruling of the Jerusalem council. How does this passage help us understand true unity in the Universal church? Describe how this passage drives at focusing on both the sufficiency of Christ and the character of Christ.

How did Jesus change things? Why should Christians obey Gods laws? What are some laws from God that will never change? How does division come into the church? It is common to label it divisive for elders to address false teaching. Why is this such a successful trick? Why would laws based on Gods character never change? What is positive law and give an example or two? What was the purpose of the ceremonial laws found in the books of Moses and why would it be undermining Christ to require those things again? How does James use Amos to explain why circumcision is no longer necessary? What is the role of elders in this passage?

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. How does Christ make people who were once called Not my people to now be called, You are My People?
