Acts 10: Scandalous Acceptance

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Jason

Reading for Thursday, April 19: Acts 10 This is another chapter that I LOVE: Cornelius’ conversion. Rather than write 500-600 words about it (like I normally do!), I want to hear from you. The major theme of this chapter, demonstrated … Continue reading →

Acts 7

Acts 5

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Jason

Reading for Thursday, April 12: Acts 5 Acts 5 gives us an unvarnished scene of deception in the life of the early church. Ananias and Sapphira are condemned for their lie, but what stands out is the authority Peter demonstrates: … Continue reading →

Reading for Tuesday, April 10: Acts 3 After the wide-angle lens of 2.42-47, Luke shifts to an episode rife with particularity: two disciples (Peter and John) in a specific location (the Beautiful Gate) sharing Jesus with one individual in need … Continue reading →
