In this episode, we continue our chapter-by-chapter study of the book of Acts.
Big Idea: The early church carried the gospel throughout the known world in approximately 30 years and transformed an empire in 3 centuries. Now the church seems intimidated, uncertain amidst swift cultural changes. So, what did the early Christians, commanded by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, do that we are not doing? Here are their acts, and may they inspire our own.
Outline for Chapter 3:
- The Temple
- The Miracle
- The Message
Key Takeaways:
- The fascinating story of the tabernacle, the first temple, and the second temple (including Herod the Great’s 46-year rebuilding of the 2nd temple) and what that meant for the Jewish religious leaders and the early church.
- The fact that Jesus may have walked past the lame man during his earthly ministry and what that means for pain and suffering in our lives.
- The developing conflict between the followers of Jesus and the temple authorities.
- Peter’s second sermon pointing to Jesus as the Prophet and what that means for us.
- Why the gospel is our greatest gift.
