When the Rabbi Says "Come"

For a first century Jew, to follow a rabbi meant to "be covered with the dust of his feet." When Jesus called His disciples, it was implied that they would begin this process of becoming like Him by following closely in His footsteps. Travel through the Galilee with these followers of Jesus, and allow the dust to cover your feet as well. Scripture References: Leviticus 19:18, Luke 6:4, Matthew 11:30 Locations: Bethsaida, Israel, Korazin, Israel, Scythopolis

When the Rabbi Says "Go"

Most of Jesus' ministry was spent in Jewish communities, proclaiming the good news of God's kingdom to the people of Israel. His greater intention, though, was for His Jewish followers to bring this message to the Gentile world around them, a world that had not yet bowed its knee to the God of Israel. In this lesson, unpack this process of becoming the message of the gospel to an unfamiliar world with the early disciples. Scripture References: 1 John 2:6, Mark 6:45, Mark 6:48, Mark 12:17, Matthew 8:26, Matthew 14:29, Matthew 22:16-17 Locations: Eremos Topos, Israel, Omrit, Israel, Scythopolis

The Presence of God: A Countercultural Community

When the believers began to bring the message of the gospel to the world of the Gentiles, they quickly realized that their faith made them extremely countercultural. How would they explain the good news in places where they couldn't engage in the mainstream culture? Journey through the Greco-Roman city of Priene with the early believers and discover what it means to be countercultural in your own world. Scripture References: Galatians 6:10, Matthew 12:48, Zechariah 4:6 Locations: Priene, Turkey

Living Stones

When questioned about his message, Paul tells the Athenians that the one and only God "does not live in temples made with hands" (Acts 17:24). Naturally, anyone who was curious about Jesus in the Greco-Roman world would ask the early believers, "Well, then where does your god live?" Visit the magnificent temple of Athena in Priene and discover with a Gentile world where the spirit of the living God dwells today.
