Persecution Initiates the Christian Diaspora

Acts 8:1b-3 ~ Persecution Initiates the Christian Diaspora

Posted on February 20, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we focused on this brief, transitional passage that documents the first officially sanctioned persecution of Christ followers as well as what happened to Stephen’s body after his stoning (lynching) in chapter 7.  We looked at the structure of Acts noting that chapters 1-7 and 13-28 follow a single-thread narrative, whereas chapters 8-12 traces…

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…

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 • @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…
