Not for Sale

Acts 8:20-24 ~ Not For Sale

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week, we finished up our study of the interaction between the apostles and Simon Magus. For real. We zoomed in on the final verses of the narrative where Peter apparently ‘curses’ Simon for his attempt to purchase the ability to bestow the Holy Spirit. We discussed the difference between “believing” and faith that leads…

No Change? No Salvation.

Acts 8:14-25 ~ No Change? No Salvation.

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we continued our discussion about Simon the magician and his desire to purchase the ability to bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit (which cannot be purchased). We were reminded that Jesus’ parable of the sower provides a way to understand the difference between an authentic conversion experience and one that has no roots,…

"The Amazing Simon" Is Amazed

Acts 8:9-17 ~ “The Amazing Simon” is Amazed!

Posted on March 9, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we were introduced to Simon (a.k.a. “Simon the Sorcerer” and “Simon Magus”), and according to Simon himself “Someone Great!” Although there is not a lot of information about Simon in the Bible, early church fathers wrote about him with enough detail that we are able to sketch his character and his beliefs and his…

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,…

Acts 5:7-10 Ananias & Sapphira, Pt. 2

Acts 5:7-10 ~ Ananias & Sapphira, Part Two

Posted on September 9, 2017 by Laura Zielke

Guest Teacher: Craig Bondy  This week, we continued in the study of the sudden deaths of Ananias and Sapphira. We looked at the similarities and differences of their individual experiences, and we discussed how each one had an opportunity to confess their deception but declined.  The punishment was exceedingly harsh. Why? They were testing to…
