The Church in Elk Rapia
To Accept and to Reject

14) For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

15) Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

16) Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

There is No Comparison

2) The rejection of prejudice vs. 15-16a
          A) Begins with a rejection of truth
              B) Continue with a persecution of truth
                  C) Results in hostility due to truth
                      D) While trying to silence the truth
3) The Acceptance of judgment vs 16b

Big Idea:
Pleasing God depends
on what we accept or reject.
