But We Still Have To Eat Together…

I currently follow the daily reading schedule laid out by Clergy Stuff and I really like it. However, I find it interesting that they skipped the second half of Acts 15 this morning. The Narrative Lectionary text for preaching yesterday was Acts 15:1-18 (read this...

Expanding Horizons | A Meditation on Acts 15

The Narrative Lectionary text for today is Acts 15:1-18. The Jewish Christians of the first church were very concerned that Gentiles were becoming followers of the Way (the original term used to describe people who followed Jesus as Lord) without conforming to the Law...

The Narrative Lectionary reading for today is Acts 4:23-31. I decided to go back and look to see what I wrote about this passage in the Hart Haus Acts study. Here it is. You’ll notice a slight change in my language since then. Namely, I still referred to God as...
