I will continue posting my series on the "Gospel as Peace" in the next few weeks. This post, however, is to share something a bit different with you. I have been afforded the privilege to fill-in at a local congregation for a few months. Throughout my time there, we will be examining the book of Acts.
The Acts of the Apostles is without question the most exciting and dramatic book in the New Testament, and possibly in the entire Bible. The story of the beginnings, of what became known as Christianity, is narrated with great vigor and vividness, leaving its reader wide-eyed in amazement. Even today, this book has the ability to ignite passion and stir emotion from those within the faith community.
We will begin this adventure examining what we can know about who, where, when, why, and how, and then, as best as we can, listen with their ears, read through their eyes to see what God is saying to us in our time. It all began in Jerusalem…
Note: The last few minutes of my final text, comments, conclusions, application were cut-off due to a technical glitche.

Post a Comment
Ground-rules for comments:
1) Identify yourself by observing social decorum and use your real name.
2) Please stick to the subject of the post. Introducing extraneous issues makes it confusing for everyone.
3) Relevant queries, informed comments and disagreement are welcomed, but don't use this as a soap-box to vent your pet views or to simply to be obnoxious.
4) State your query concisely and make your comment with regard for other readers.
5) Be honorable and avoid insults and slurs, and focus on engagement with the issues and data. Comments with personal attacks or insults will not be tolerated. Refutation, declaring an error, all welcome and appropriate, but keep it polite and fair.
