Two Texts

In which John and David talk about how prayers can be borrowed and should be. There's a pressure on us to always be fresh and creative in our prayers. Where did that come from. Often, as in Acts 4, when the early Christians prayed, they turned to the Psalms. We hope you enjoy this episode, as we surprised each other with how this conversation blessed us, so our prayer is that it blesses you too.

In which John and David notice the unity of the early church in Acts chapter 4. Encountering some opposition drives these ordinary people towards each other and God. It seems that the lack of pretension amongst these young Christians allow plenty of space for God to work in them.

In which John and David discuss how the disciples are seen in Acts 4. The contrast between the lack of the formal training of the disciples with the academic weight of those asking them questions deeply skews the dynamics of their trial. But once again, Acts shows us that the world of the Holy Spirit doesn't work as we'd think.

In which John and David discuss Acts chapter 4. The follow up from the miracle in chapter 3 leaves the early Christians positioned between the power of God and the earthly authorities - how should they navigate this?

In which John and David consider the implications of what the Holy Spirit did to life for the Early Christians. Acts 2:42 shows us how they had balanced and holistic view of what being in community meant for them. It might even be that they knew some things about Christian community that we have forgotten!

In which John and David look at the results of the Holy Spirit arriving in Acts 2. We note that often we say "the Holy Spirit came and everyone spoke in other languages!" But is that all that happened? What if we looked more closely and saw that there was, maybe, still more that the Spirit was doing?

In which John and David consider the response to a sermon. Peter's sermon does a variety of things, but a good sermon should also include something that isn't from the preacher - the response. In Acts 2, Peter's sermon gets the response we should always ask.

In which John and David consider how Jesus is at the centre of everything in Peter's Acts 2 sermon. Peter's use of the Old Testament is interesting and illuminating, not just what he quotes, but how he uses it. Jesus is his lens to everything.
