    Acts 21:17-26 w/ Neal Ledbetter

    This week, we look at Acts 21:17-26 and Paul's arrival in Jerusalem. It was an extremely volatile time according to historians. One commentator summarizes it this way, "intense Jewish nationalism and political unrest. One insurrection after another rose to challenge the Roman overlords, and Felix brutally suppressed them all. This only increased the Jewish hatred for Rome and inflamed anti-Gentile sentiments. It was a time when pro-Jewish sentiment was at its height, and friendliness with outsiders was viewed askance. Considering public relations, Paul’s mission to the Gentiles would not have been well received." And yet, read Acts 21:17-20 and we see the early church leaders and apostles unified, embracing, at peace, celebrating God's work, and worshiping, It's encouraging and a timely reminder for us today.

    Acts 21:1-16 w/ Jack Hester

    Our verse-by-verse study through the book of Acts this week focuses on Acts 21:1-16, but as Teaching Pastor Neal Ledbetter reminds us, "the message Paul received in Acts 20:22-23 and how he responded in verse 24 is important to keep in mind as we study our text this week. In Acts 21:1-16, the disciples receive the same word Paul did in Acts 20:22-23, but they have a different human response to the divine word they received. Their response and Luke's wording Acts 21:4 might be confusing. John Stott summarizes Acts 21:4, saying, “Luke’s statement is a condensed way of saying that the warning was divine while the urging was human. After all, the Spirit’s word to Paul combined the compulsion to go with a warning of the consequences (20:22–23)." Our study and the questions this week will hopefully draw out this tension and our natural response to suffering."

    Acts 19:1-10 w/ Tommy Hinton

    This week, we're looking at Paul's return to Ephesus and the "disciples" he encounters there. Are they disciples of Jesus? That ambiguity is likely Luke's point and why Paul asks the question about whether they have received the Holy Spirit. It should provide some good discussion on the outward evidence of faith. Also, it is an opportunity to discuss trusting the Spirit's timing as the Holy Spirit previously prevented Paul from entering Asia Minor, and now, through Paul, all of Asia Minor hears the gospel.
