Think about this week’s questions for group discussion.

- Why is the work we see God doing in the heart of Peter and his “circumcised” friends in v. 44-48 so important? Have you experienced such a work in your own heart when you have worshipped or fellowshipped with believers from other cultures or backgrounds?
