were unlearned {and} untrained in theschools [common men with noeducational advantages], they marveled;and they recognized that they had been

with Jesus.

2. WHAT HINDERS YOU FROM

MAKING IMPACT? Lack of knowledge of who we are and

what we can do in Christ Jesus. The

cure to this is constant studies and

meditation of the Scriptures. Not believing and acting on what the

Bible says about your rights and

privileges in Christ.The cure to this is doing what the word

says.
