In which John and David discuss how a Pharisee saves the apostles and makes some good points for all our lives. As the Apostles encounter some objections to the work they are part of, not everyone knows what to do with them. The Pharisee Gamaliel, however, offers a way forward that might help us think about things today too.

In which John and David talk about Peter's shadow. In Acts you could be forgiven for thinking that the Apostles are making some impressive things happen. But in chapter 5 we see that something else is driving this story. Or rather, someone else.

In which John and David discuss the slightly disturbing story of Ananias and Sapphira. The early church has begun in charity and commonality, how would it respond when that was challenged. And how would the Holy Spirit? What can we learn from a story that at first glance seems more than a little troubling.

In which John and David talk about how Acts shows us the holistic changes brought by the Holy Spirit. We often relegate Christian transformation into purely spiritual categories. However, in Acts 4:32f we see how the spiritual and the practical are impacted by what God is doing through the Holy Spirit as we saw modelled in Jesus. Acts leads us into Incarnational Spirituality - A spirituality defined in and by the person of Jesus.
