Lectionary: Series A (79)
  1. “Rolling the dice” or rather “casting lots” has an interesting place in the life of the Church from the Bible.
  2. Paul's message is simple. God has come to judge and save all people through Jesus’ resurrection.
  3. This brief glimpse into Stephen’s life shows that the Word of the Lord must continue to go out despite its worldly detractors.
  4. When God returns to His Temple, all of His people will be gathered around and the Temple itself will go by a new name: “Yahweh is there.”
  5. What were the “many other words” and how did he “continue to exhort them"? I want to know the details but, perhaps, that is not the point.
  6. God would raise Jesus from the dead. That’s the message that sounded crazy. That’s what made the council believe that the church was filled with madmen.
  7. Jesus is alive! The message will and must always be that Jesus died and rose again. That is the full good news we need.
  8. What does it mean to listen to Jesus? What does it mean to follow Him as He suffers?
  9. Even if the only thing remaining of you is your bones, even if you are dead in sins and trespasses (like Ezekiel’s hearers and all peoples), He can give you life.
  10. Jesus is displaying the works of God which He has for the world so all might see, both physically and especially spiritually, the salvation found only in Christ.
  11. Grace is God’s attitude towards sinners. This is what God’s people had mistaken in the desert.
  12. Faith is never something we have on our own, but it is something God’s Word of promise creates out of nothing.
