1) Review last week’s discussion of Peter’s vision and it’s meaning.

2) Have you ever faced prejudice? How did you deal with it and respond to it?

10) How do cultural and religious barriers hinder growth in our faith?

11) If God were to give you a vision like Peter’s, what deep seated prejudices might he call on you to get rid of? (or maybe God has taught you a similar lesson in the past in some way)

12) What can we do to make first time visitors and visitors with different cultures, ideas and upbringing feel welcome in our church?

13) What people do you encounter throughout the week who are different than you in some major ways? What can you do to be an effective witness to these people?
