Acts 10

•	What obstacles do you think there are between people you know who aren’t Christians and our church?  Do we have control over those obstacles?  If so, is there anything we can do about them?
•	Acts 10:1-8: God sent an angel to Cornelius, but it was Peter who was to tell him the gospel.  Why do you think God chooses to use people like us as his witnesses rather than angels?
•	vv.9-23: why do you think Peter struggled to hear Jesus’ command in vv.13-16?
•	Share what you know about Peter together from elsewhere in the New Testament, both from the gospels and from Acts.  In what ways is Peter a warning to us?  In what ways is he an encouragement? 
•	Can you think of ways in which Jesus has had to challenge your thinking about particular issues?  How can we ensure that we are always open to Jesus reforming and teaching us in our lives?
