Acts 11:27-30 ~ Famine Felt 'Round the World

Acts 11:27-30 ~ Famine Felt 'Round the World

Posted on January 23, 2020June 1, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we discussed various topics related to the church in Antioch, Syria. We learned the first instance a disciple was called “Christian” was in Antioch. A prophet came down from Jerusalem and predicted a severe famine that would spread over the entire Roman Empire, and we were able to pinpoint almost exactly when this…

Acts 18:1-8 ~ Together Again

This week we discussed a couple phases of Paul’s ministry in the thriving metropolis of Corinth. He was finally reunited with Silas and Timothy, his ministry partners who stayed in Berea when he left for Athens. By reading passages from Paul’s letters to the churches at Thessalonica, Philippi, and Corinth, we were able to piece…

Acts 17:29-18:4 ~ Intro to Corinth

For the first time in a LONG time, Paul left a city because he felt like it, not because he was being chased out (although we are left to wonder whether that meeting with the Areopagus Council wasn’t the catalyst to his decision to move on). Not many people in Athens were receptive to Paul’s…

Acts 17:27-28 ~ Perceiving Truth in Pagan Poems

This week we explored the origins of one of the most well-known phrases in Scripture: “In him we live and move and have our being.” Many in the class were interested to learn that the above phrase is a direct quote from a sixth century poem about Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Not…

Acts 17:22-27 ~ Unveiling the "Unknown" God

Posted on December 18, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we studied the beginning of Paul’s sermon at the Areopagus (beyond verse 22)! Paul seized the opportunity to tell the Athenians and Areopagus Council about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in terms they would understand. His prop was an altar to an “unknown god,” and Paul used that as his jumping…

Acts 17:22 ~ Really Religious? Or Simply Superstitious?

Posted on December 6, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we read through Paul’s speech at the Areopagus, and although I thought we were going to discuss more of it, we basically made it through one verse. It’s not my fault! ? We discussed the different translations of a rare Greek word in Acts 17:22 “deisidaimonesterous” (lit: δεισιδαιμονεστέρους). Was Paul following the classical…
