We arrive at our 60th episode on Acts! True to form in this series we don't get through as much in this episode as we imagined we would! Right at the start of Acts 13, there's this beautiful little sequence about the Holy Spirit in Antioch...

...and we loved it!

We're back after our annual summer break and excited to talk to you about Acts. We did think, however, that maybe a brief recap on where we've been might be helpful - we've been in Acts for over a year now, so there's quite a lot of content been laid down here. Normal pace (!) will resume next episode, but here for now is us getting back into the groove.

In our last episode before our August "Technology Sabbatical" John and David note, once again, that the Holy Spirit likes it when everyone isn't the same. The diversity of the Spirit's work is something we've noted already in this series, but look once again how Luke think's it's worth drawing our attention too. Should a commitment to diversity continue to define the church?

In which John and David consider how easily we are deluded by power. Herod thinks he has power, the people think he has power, but the Holy Spirit knows differently. Continuing a theme in Acts, we see that there are still lessons for us to learn today about what power really is, and isn't.

In which John and David wonder if we would respond any differently than the Acts Church. Many of us have prayed for something. but I wonder how many of us really expect our prayers to be answered. How would you react if the person in prison your were praying for suddenly turned up at your door?

In which John and David enjoy a brilliant escape story. This is one of those stories in Acts that you've likely heard of. If you haven't then expect mystery, humour, and God working in surprising ways. Peter's escape story should probably be one of your favourite Acts moments - especially if you wonder about whether prayer works!
