 WEEKLY REFLECTIONS

 1.   The Pharisees were passionate about food laws, Sabbath, and circumcision, and they wanted to add those requirements to the Gospel.  What are we tempted to add as requirements to the Gospel today?

 2.   Read Acts 10.  In verse 44, it says that “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message”?  What does this tell us about God changes hearts?  How does Peter interpret it in Acts 11:15-18 and Acts 15:7-11?

 3.   What is the difference between abolishing and fulfilling a law?  What implications would it have if the law were abolished?  What does it mean that Christ fulfilled it?  (Matt 5:17, Heb 10:9-10)

 4.   How should our understanding of the Law change in the world of the Resurrected Christ?  How should this affect our identity in Christ?  How should it impact the way we treat others?
