Acts 3-5: Who Is He Actually Talking To? - The REAL Meaning of the Book of Acts Series -- Jim Staley

In this week's broadcast, he moves through chapters 3-5 and exposes who the REAL audience is of whom the “promises” given to those who are “near and afar off” really are. It is eye-opening, to say the least, as over 1700 years of Catholic and Protestant Greco-Roman Western theology has gotten in the way of understanding this very Jewish book.

Understanding the book of Acts is critical and foundational in order to truly understand the New Covenant and what the early Church actually believed and practiced. Where is the power in the Church today that existed in the first century? This series will challenge you and encourage you to return to that power. Pastor Jim dives into the nuances and Hebrew culture of the day to truly understand what is really going on in the book of Acts and, by extension, the entire New Testament Church.

Watching this later today and always very good. However, I was taught that instead of My God, My God why has thou forsaken me in the Hebrew it is Ephraim, Ephraim why has thou forsaken me.

Barnabas was een Leviet en mocht geen land bezitten. Dus het verkopen van zijn land en de opbrengst aan de apostelen geven was berouw tonen. Hij keerde zich om naar God en maakte de keuze om in Gods weg te gaan wandelen.

Question: So often people say to tithe means the giving of money to God or in God's name I believe it means more than just money. Giving in God's name can also be time, food, clothing and shelter as well. What say you?

I have received visions… I believe in His Word… I know God wants me to live for Him… pray for me… I need to make a drastic change…

Hi, thank you for this series of videos, they're enlightening :) I have a question though, I think Ananias and Sapphira are just "sleeping" and they will be judged before God at the Great White Throne Judgement, or you're saying that there's an after life happening right now? Do you have a video in which you explain a bit your views on the after life? Blessings from Chile :)

[Made-Whole]

Interesting, I was unaware that you could be saved and not filled with the Holy Spirit. I've always questioned whether I had the Holy Spirit and have always been told when I got saved that it was automatic. Ugh....

[chrissy.aussie]

Significant learning here: eg One new man is the two kingdoms Israel/Judah not Jew and (pagan) gentile. Had no idea before this teaching. Thank you

[edelhaugen]

I´m sure about that dad is of viking decent. We are vikings who really loves God and Jesus from all our heart. ❤

[AmyBennett-fi]

Since Ananias and his wife did what the enemy had put within them they both were held accountable for their actions so that judgment was final and they were wrong all the way through . You don’t do evil and expect to go to Gods kingdom in the after life . As I said these folks were held accountable .

[toddpardue]

I'm sure next you'll be promoting the freemasons!?

Why were there no gentiles in the early church? Why were they only Jews? What happened to the people who joined themselves to the Jews and their faith early in the Old Testament when they were brought out of Egypt.
Was that not still the case? Thanks

[DanHutchings-xxug]

Studying and researching some of Jim's talk and I hit a problem I wish to clarify which is Acts 2:5-12 where it is telling us that many different nations showed up and listened to Peter in their own tongue some of these included Romans, Asians, Egyptians and Libyans. And in Acts 2:38-39 Peter is telling these people to repent and telling them about God's promise to them and their children, including all that are far off. The word most often used in verse 2:11 I find is converts or proselytes both meaning gentiles that have fully came to Judaism. Some bibles just use Cretans and Arabs. My thought is Peter is already starting to reach out to all parts of the world for these people many of which will return back to where they came from and tell what they seen and heard. So my thoughts is though it might be mostly Jews he was addressing there were others there not of Jewish faith as well. Any thoughts on this?
