Acts 15:12

Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

1. Now everyone is focused on the issue. A new perspective has been given by Peter.

2. Now attention is given to Paul and Barnabas as they tell about the expansion of the church among the Gentiles. They tell about the conversions, the miracles, the many open doors, the reception of the gospel in other lands.

3. The church is growing. You have brothers and sisters in Christ in many nations. They are different from you in race, ethnicity, customs and culture. But they have heard the same gospel message (death, burial, and resurrection of Christ) and have obeyed the same commands (faith, repentance, and baptism) and are accepted by God.
