The second chapter of Acts marks the true birth of the Church. The giving of the Spirit is a crucial moment in redemptive history and yet the role and function of the Holy Spirit is one that is often misunderstood.
As we press on further in the book of Acts we encounter an, oftentimes, forgotten story of the Apostles choosing a replacement for the disgraced Judas Iscariot. While this episode may be slightly obscure, it gives us a demonstration of what it looks like to trust the sovereign hand of God in making a difficult decision.
Acts is a book that serves as a second half to Luke’s full account of the Life of Jesus and his continued work in and through the church. This week we looked at the final message that Jesus delivered to his disciples before his ascension. In it, Jesus spells out the mission of the church and the means through which it will be accomplished: the promised Holy Spirit.
There is no good way to have a full study of Proverbs without covering the issue of money. Proverbs neither teaches that money is the key to happiness nor that it is merely a necessary evil to be avoided when possible. Instead, we learn that it is something that certainly can present many dangers but a blessing when managed wisely.
Proverbs touches on so many of the different avenues of life and the reality of emotions is a large part of the human experience. So it’s no wonder why Solomon spent time dispensing godly wisdom in how we ought to think of our emotions as well as how to navigate them.
