Saul - who later is called Paul is introduced in this podcast. Additionally, due to the persecution of the Jerusalem church, the Gospel spreads to Samaria the land north of Judea. One of the Hellenistic Jewish men chosen to help with the distribution of food to the widows preaches in Samaria and many Samaritans come to the knowledge of Christ.
SOme have asked why Peter and John arrive from Jerusalem and seem to take over. Since Peter is given the Keys to the Kingdom and opens the way for the Jews to come to Messiah Jesus he also opens the way for the coming of the Spirit upon theSamaritanss as well. The church is inclusive of all people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. Peter will also be important to officially opening the Gospel for the Gentiles as well in Acts chapter ten.
The other issue that we discuss in this podcast is the issue of Simony in the church. Who was Simon the Magician? What or who does he represent? And are there people today in leadership in the church that might be guilty of Simony?
These are the areas we look at in this podcast.
These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage of Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
