  • Acts 11:19-26 ~ Barnabas and the Hellenists

    31/07/2019 Duração: 48min

    From the earliest days of the church, there has been one message uniting people across all human-made divides: love. That's the core of the gospel. Barnabas was sent to Antioch to make sure they were in compliance with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The post Acts 11:19-26 ~ Barnabas and the Hellenists appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 11:19-26 ~ Meanwhile in Phoenicia, Cyprus & Antioch

    30/03/2019 Duração: 52min

    This week we studied how the gospel spread north beyond Palestine into less Jewish-centric communities including Phoenicia, Antioch (in Syria) and the island of Cyprus. This section introduces us to the city of Antioch which will become the center of Christianity after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and to the church who sends out...

  • Acts 11:1-18 ~ Clean.

    21/02/2019 Duração: 25min

    In our final discussion on this passage, we got down to where the rubber meets the road. As we focused on Peter’s defense of his experience in Acts 11, we learned that he had become convinced his vision had nothing to do with food and everything to do with people.  And so the real question...

  • Acts 10:1-11:18 ~ The Core of the Gospel Message (Kerygma)

    21/02/2019 Duração: 43min

    As part of our continuing discussion about Peter’s speech(es) in Acts 10 and 11, we stepped back to look at how Peter and the apostles adjusted their presentation of the gospel message to each audience based on their knowledge of the Scriptures and Jewish religious traditions. Through comparison and contrast, we identified key elements of... The post Acts 10:1-11:18 ~ The Core of the Gospel Message (Kerygma) appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 10:1-11:18 ~ Everyone Is Welcome. Every. One.

    21/02/2019 Duração: 33min

    Who is “welcome” to join us in following Jesus? Who is not? Where do we draw the line? Should we even draw one? How do we know?  During the week prior to the Sunday when this lesson was originally taught, American citizens were mesmerized by two very different and highly publicized funerals: John McCain’s in...

  • Acts 10:1-11:18 ~ Emphatic Repetition

    19/02/2019 Duração: 40min

    First we read of Cornelius’ vision. Then Peter’s. Then Peter mentions his to Cornelius, and Cornelius recounts his to Peter. Then Peter retells both visions to a new audience. But we’re reading it—so why all the repetition? What makes this event so special?  This week our discussion took us from analyzing Luke’s purposeful repetition to...

  • Acts 10:1-33 ~ Peter & Cornelius (Overview)

    19/02/2019 Duração: 39min

    What happens when a hungry Jewish apostle has a vision about food? But not just any food! This vision involves certain “unclean” foods—the types of food he has avoided his entire life for religious reasons. What happens when during the trance he is commanded to eat the “unclean” food? Three times! What is the meaning... The post Acts 10:1-33 ~ Peter & Cornelius (Overview) appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 9:32-43 ~ Mapwork, Miracles, Mathetria & a Riff about “Poor” Widows

    05/09/2018 Duração: 49min

    This week we expanded on the previous lesson about the miracles in Lydda and Joppa. We utilized a map of first-century Judea to help us have a more clear idea about distances traveled, geography, and topography of the area. We reviewed the Venn Diagram we created (see below) comparing and contrasting the healing of Aeneas and...

  • Acts 9:31-43 ~ Aeneas and Tabitha

    04/09/2018 Duração: 54min

    This week we studied two miracle stories in Acts 9 which have been preserved as a unit in ancient manuscripts: the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha (a.k.a. Dorcas) from the dead. We examined a variety of similarities and differences in each account and discussed why these two stories were juxtaposed. What truths...

  • Acts 9:26-31 ~ Welcome to Jerusalem… Now, Go Home!

    04/09/2018 Duração: 54min

    This week we continued our study in Acts picking up with Saul’s first-recorded visit with the apostles in Jerusalem after his decision to follow Jesus. Everyone was skeptical, except Barnabas, one of the seven Hellenists who were chosen to serve the growing Christian community in Jerusalem. He was the only one willing to hear Saul’s...

    03/09/2018 Duração: 39min

    This week, Craig Bondy (guest teacher) compared and contrasted three different accounts of Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus. We examined the narrative in Acts 9 as well as Paul’s testimony in Acts 22 and his witness in Acts 26. We focused our attention on what Saul was told about his future.  Click to...

  • Acts 1-9: Timeline Review

    01/09/2018 Duração: 47min

    This week Craig Bondy (guest teacher) guided us through a detailed review of the timeline of Acts chapters 1-9. He also brought local and empire history into the timeline to help form a more complete historical context for this section of Scripture. There’s also a homework assignment at the end, if you’d like to participate! ... The post Acts 1-9: Timeline Review appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 9:19b-25 ~ Saul & the Nabateans

    05/07/2018 Duração: 43min

    This week we took a closer look at few passages that describe a time in Saul’s first few years as a follower of Jesus—particularly his time in Arabia (Nabatea). This journey is NOT mentioned in Acts at all; however, Paul mentions it in both his letter to the church in Galatia and his second (third?)...

  • Acts 9:19b-30 ~ Wired with Wanderlust

    02/07/2018 Duração: 49min

    This week we worked on piecing together the evolution of Saul’s theology based on the account we have in Acts as well as his own testimony in Galatians. The more we reflected on the details of Saul’s life leading up to this moment, the more we saw how God had wired him with a passion...

  • Acts 9:13-19a ~ The Other Ananias

    02/07/2018 Duração: 49min

    This week we took a close look at what happened when Ananias showed up at Judas’ house on Straight Street. We discussed how significant it was that Ananias greeted Saul as a brother, explained that the Jesus whom he saw en route to Damascus was the same One who sent him to restore his sight....

  • Acts 9:1-16 ~ The “Bind-er” Becomes the “Bind-ee”

    06/06/2018 Duração: 43min

    This week slowed our pace to take a closer look at Saul’s Damascus Road experience. Rather than focusing on the details of the event, we zoomed out to discuss the story behind the story. We explored how Saul’s life was dramatically and forever changed following his personal encounter with the risen Christ: We examined Saul’s...

  • Acts 9, 22, 26 ~ Same Event. Different Details.

    25/05/2018 Duração: 43min

    This week we compared and contrasted three different accounts of Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus. We examined the narrative in Acts 9 as well as Paul’s testimony in Acts 22 and his witness in Acts 26. We looked at the setting of each account and discussed why certain details were presented in one... The post Acts 9, 22, 26 ~ Same Event. Different Details. appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 9:1-19a ~ Works-Based Worth

    24/05/2018 Duração: 44min

    This week, we picked up where we left off with Saul (a.k.a. Paul). We examined his background, education, and training. We discussed his “status” as self-appointed protector of Pharisaic Orthodoxy, and his insatiable desire to crush “The Way” wherever he traveled. As we developed a clear picture of Saul’s character, we saw that he was... The post Acts 9:1-19a ~ Works-Based Worth appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 8:26-40 ~ Of Whom Does the Prophet Speak?

    22/05/2018 Duração: 49min

    This week, we completed our study of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. We discussed the passage in Isaiah that the eunuch was reading, and we talked about this being the first time the Suffering Servant’s identity was applied to the Messiah. We also briefly discussed the eunuch’s response to Philip’s interpretation as... The post Acts 8:26-40 ~ Of Whom Does the Prophet Speak? appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.

  • Acts 8:26-40 ~ The Ethiopian Eunuch

    16/05/2018 Duração: 30min

    This week, we continued our study of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch by investigating what we know (and don’t know) about the eunuch: where he came from, what his place was in society, how he traveled, and why someone from so far away would have made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. We also imagined the story... The post Acts 8:26-40 ~ The Ethiopian Eunuch appeared first on Laura L. Zielke.
