Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.21 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ” The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!”
Amazing! All through the OT God promised to bless all the nations that blessed Israel. In other places he sent prophets (Jonah) to pagan nations. Yet the Jews never picked up on God's intention.
God may want to do something we don't expect in our lives - I wonder how we will react?
v.17-18 “When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’
There is a time "to plant and a time to uproot". A time to stay and a time to go. And always time to listen to God's direction.
