Hellenists, Serving Tables & Widows

Acts 6:1-7 ~ Hellenists, Serving Tables & Widows

Posted on November 18, 2017November 18, 2017 by Laura Zielke

This week we cross-examined the “traditional” interpretation of this passage while we dug into the details of the text. For example, were the 12 apostles really neglecting the Hellenistic widows in the daily distribution of food? Does that make any sense at all? And were the Hellenists actually chosen to be the first deacons? What…

Organic Growth of the Early Church, Part One

Acts 6:1-7 ~ Organic Growth of the Early Church

Posted on November 4, 2017November 27, 2017 by Laura Zielke

This week we started a new section of Acts where Luke turns our attention away what was going on in the Temple courts to the inevitable challenges of exponential growth and diversity. We evaluated internal evidence that Luke was possibly using a new source(s) for this section including the introduction of previously unused terms which…

Remarkable Faith: When Jesus Marveled at the Faith of Unremarkable People

Book Review: “Remarkable Faith” by Shauna Letellier

Posted on October 31, 2017November 2, 2017 by Laura Zielke

Has a trial (or a truckload of trials) ever left you feeling isolated? Hopeless? Defeated? I mean, you didn’t start out that way. At the beginning of the trial, you were active in community, full of hope and vigor, up for the challenge of whatever came your way. Setbacks? No problem! Delays? I can wait!…

Worthy of the Calling Free OBS Sarah Koontz

OBS Review: “Worthy of the Calling” by Sarah Koontz

Posted on October 30, 2017October 31, 2017 by Laura Zielke

“Worthy of the Calling” is the first Online Bible Study (OBS) that I’ve gotten a glimpse of from behind the scenes. When Sarah Koontz posted in our Christian Women Bloggers group that she was prayerfully pulling together a launch team for her new OBS, I was intrigued and threw my name into the hat. I…

Arresting Differences

Acts 4-5 ~ Arresting Differences

Posted on September 21, 2017September 21, 2017 by Laura Zielke

This week we compared and contrasted the arrest narratives from Acts 4 and Acts 5. Though some scholars have contended the arrest in Acts 5 is a doublet of Acts 4, when examined closely for similarities and differences, it’s clear that the arrests have completely different catalysts, circumstances surrounding the arrest, and final outcomes (see…

Shadows, Signs & Wonders

Acts 5:11-16 ~ Shadows, Signs & Wonders

Posted on September 16, 2017September 17, 2017 by Laura Zielke

This week, we finished up the study of Ananias and Sapphira by comparing and contrasting their experience in Acts 5 to the story of Achan in Joshua 7. It seems as though each of these events took place at the beginning of the founding of a faith community. If the stories are indeed parallel, then,…

Posted @withregram • @loveeletters your direction is more important than your speed 🌿✨ #LifeGoals Posted @withregram • @my_jigsawlife I’m glad to see this and obligated to share. Trying to silence truth tellers is white supremacy. And white supremacy is evil. Note to self 💛 Word. Posted @withregram • @sandravanopstal It’s the silence and the silencing for me.  My first year of ministry someone at my church “rebuked” me for posting something about love  from #mlkjr stating that he was not a real Chrisitan. The post by @deidrariggs accompanying this graphic is a powerful wake up call for White people. Don’t hit the snooze button. Read this post. Anything you can do to spread the word, do it. There’s plenty of money out there to help heal the world. Posted @withregram • @journey_to_wellness_ 😳Truth: I’m so nervous right now…
