I thank God that my niece pointed me to you almost a year ago. I started with you in Genesis and we are now in Acts. You opened my ears to the Word.

[eageye]

To be honest, I'd never heard of you until today. This Sunday I will be teaching on this passage, the birth of the church. Your message is really helpful! It's such an important subject that I want to be sure I'm "rightly dividing the Word of truth." Thank you !

I just found this series and am so glad I could join in. It's like being there. I'm so intrigued with how the Word is presented, verse by verse and expounded upon with the history or life as it was at the time. But I am perplexed about Acts 1 and 2, when Luke describes where they are gathered together. I get that the disciples were instructed to wait, in Jerusalem for the promise. Acts 1:12-13 references that they (the disciples) returned to Jerusalem after they had witnessed Jesus ascension (Acts 1:9-11) to an upper room where abode (resided?) the (named) 11 disciples. Then Acts 1:14 includes women, the Mother of Jesus and his brothers. Are we to assume that they were also abiding in the upper room or were they mentioned to denote that they were "with one accord in prayer and supplication"? Then Acts 1:15 states that..."in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (a meeting to appoint a new disciple #12) and.. the number of names together were about an 120". Are we to assume that 120 people were in an upper room of a building or residence? How large were the dwelling places that would accommodate so many people? Acts 2:1 states... they were all with one accord in one place (on the day of Pentecost). Acts 2:2 it filled all the house (?) where they were sitting... the multitude (others in Jerusalem for the day of Pentecost) came together, confounded...amazed that they were speaking in the language they each could understand. If 120 were in an upper room how could, at the least, 3000 (Acts 2:47) people hear them? Were they all not celebrating the day of Pentecost, at the synagogue,
for which they came? Just wondering?

[cristohijodeDios]

Sir the Feasts are from YHWH and they were not just for the Jews the tribe of Judah but for all Israelites and they are to be celebrated for ever by the liters Israelites and the strangers=gentiles

[beenfedup]

Speaking the wonderful works of God is preaching this is unbelievable these people need serious prayers this man along with others will be in a position that they never thought they would be DEPART FROM ME little help for people when you read 1 Corinthians read it like it’s a year end review from your boss and you will understand that he isn’t telling what you did good he’s telling you things you are not to do 🙏🙏🙏

“Hold on... i’m just reading it in my head...” 😱 oh to know my bible this well 😊😊

[TedTurner]

Thank you for a very good Bible study.

Skip is a great teacher. I have listened to the whole of Romans and now starting with ACTS. He brings the Bible to life. He reaches across all faiths, including my Greek Orthodox faith, but sometimes his words hurt, in particular when he mocks Baptism. It is a holy sacrament for us just as Jesus instructed in Matthew 28:19.

[DebPainchaud]

Jewish makes study the Torah until 10 or so and if they showed promise (the were required to memorize the Torah) then going forward they would study under a master. So the were not unlearned or ignorant but by Jewish educational standards they weren’t scholars of higher learning and were therefore referred to as unlearned. The apostles also spoke the trade language and Hebrew. Another thing is Peter was not poor ..he and his brother had a fishing business either partners James and John and their dad.
