We tackle what people probably knew or didn’t know in the geographic setting of Acts 13, including what Scripture the Jews had access to without the printing press (or Amazon!). And we do our best to address Acts 13:48 and its understandable question it poses about the not-so-easy concept of “predestination.” Did you miss Sunday?
