Episode: Day 333: Peter Is Rescued from Prison (2022)
It was a book of the Bible that was read aloud as part of the Bible in a Year podcast and discussed, specifically focusing on the rescue of Peter from prison.
We're reading today Acts of the Apostles chapter 12, as well as St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians chapter five and six and Proverbs chapter 28 verses one through three.
So while the Acts of the Apostle, we have James, the brother of John, who was killed by Herod.
So that was chapter 12 of the Acts of the Apostles.
And sometimes just like we saw today in chapter 12 of the Acts of the Apostles, sometimes the way to the destination immediately is that death, that suffering, that pain.
Episode: Day 322: The Ascension (2022)
It was read as part of the daily readings in the Bible in a Year podcast, with chapter 1 being highlighted. It was described as the beginning of the age of the church.
We're reading Acts of the Apostles chapter one.
On day 322, reading Acts 1, Romans 1, Proverbs 26, verses 24 through 26. The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 1. The Promise of the Holy Spirit.
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
Okay, so here we are in the Acts of the Apostles and this is the age of the church as we noted before. The Acts of the Apostles written by Luke himself.
And so this is just an extension as Jeff pointed out, I think at the very beginning of the gospel of Luke, he pointed out that Luke and Acts at one point were all one, just complete first book, second book.
Episode: Day 321: Jesus' Prayer in the Garden (2022)
It was mentioned as a book that would be discussed in the next episode of the podcast and is a book in the New Testament that extends Luke's Gospel.
We're reading the last few words of Luke's gospel, but do not fret because the Acts of the Apostles is also the extension of Luke's gospel.
But here we are on the final gospel before we launch into the acts of the apostles and Romans tomorrow, the greatest letter of St. Paul, maybe one of the greatest works in the new Testament.
Episode: Day 338: Death Defeated (2025)
The speaker discussed events from chapter 17, including the uproar in Thessalonica caused by Paul and Silas, and their subsequent arrival and reception in Beroia.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures...
These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
Episode: Day 336: The Council at Jerusalem (2025)
The reading covered the Council at Jerusalem where the early church debated whether Gentile converts needed to be circumcised according to the custom of Moses to be saved. The council ultimately decided against imposing circumcision, affirming salvation through grace by faith.
But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved. And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. [00:00:33.630 --> 00:01:27.500]
After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. [00:01:53.160 --> 00:02:19.740]
Therefore, my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood. [00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:41.660]
