Stephen: The First Christian Martyr

Acts 7:54-8:1a ~ Stephen: The First Christian Martyr

Posted on February 14, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we finally finished our deep dive into Stephen’s speech in Acts 7 and witnessed his stoning (or lynching, depending on how you look at it). We discussed Stephen’s vision that he had prior to his stoning and the specific title he used for Jesus: Son of Man.  We observed the people take the law…

Who's Really on Trial Here?

Acts 7:51-56 ~ Who’s Really on Trial Here?

Posted on February 12, 2018February 14, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we got back to where we had left off with the “peroratio” (i.e., conclusion) of Stephen’s speech in Acts 7. It’s at this point the reason for his rehashing the history of Israel becomes crystal clear: Stephen has been building a case not merely to proclaim his innocence, but also to prove the…

Acts 7:45-50 ~ A House of Cedar (part two)

Acts 7:45-50 ~ A House of Cedar (part two)

Posted on February 7, 2018February 7, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we continued our detour exploring questions about the purpose and origin of the temple. We did a cursory overview of temple history and discussed a number of Scripture passages for the purpose of better understanding whether the temple was something God desired or not. We have been looking into the possibility that God…

A House of Cedar (part one)

Acts 7:45-50 ~ A House of Cedar (part one)

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we took a slight detour to explore the question: Whose idea was Solomon’s Temple?! This is the first of two class times we spent digging into the question about whether or not the LORD commanded David and/or Solomon to build the Temple in Jerusalem. We are looking into the possibility that God (1)…

What Their Hands Had Made

Acts 7:39-48 ~ What Their Hands Had Made

Posted on February 3, 2018February 3, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we continued our in-depth study of Stephen’s defense speech. He brought up the consistent problem of idol worship—both at the foot of Mt. Sinai and in the wilderness during the 40 years of wandering. He began laying the foundation for his argument (?) that the Temple should not have been built which we…

Acts 7 - This Is That Moses

Acts 7:17-38 ~ This is THAT Moses

Posted on February 3, 2018February 3, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we continued our in-depth study of Stephen’s defense speech before the Sanhedrin. Once again, Stephen focused on leaders who worshipped God pre-Temple and outside of the promised land. As he recounted Moses’ defining moments, he made it clear that: he was not anti-Moses; Moses met with God outside the promised land; and Moses…

Posted @withregram • @devine.colors SO important! Keep doing you! ✨ Time to take a nap!! Posted @withregram • @artisarrt I hope you know that you deserve it all 🧡 Had to stop and take a photo, but this does not come close to how beautiful it was in person. Posted @withregram • @glammarks Hello Friday! Where have you been? I’ve been trying to call you all week. 📞😂 Posted @withregram • @sandravanopstal Not sure who this is for but I’ve had too many conversations with leaders of color in one day to believe they are the ones ones who are struggling to advocate for themselves. Posted @withregram • @darkbali Everyone has a voice. The real issue is whether or not we are listening. Instagram suggested this reel and I’m here for it!! #lovethelab Not my photo but I love it just the same!
