Acts 2:1-21 When we get to Pentecost, it’s tempting to just focus on the Spirit coming down and resting on the Apostles. This lengthy and meaty reading seems to beg for more than just a recitation of how the Spirit rested on the Apostles and how it rests on us in the church. There are…
Acts 16:16-34 Immediately upon reading this story from the book of Acts, I am struck by the language of the apostles in this story. The apostles encounter a woman who is in a sort of trance-like state and speak to the spirit that is in her, commanding it to come out of her. They are…
Hechos 16:16-34 Inmediatamente después de leer esta historia del libro de Hechos, me llama la atención el lenguaje de los apóstoles en esta historia. Los apóstoles se encuentran con una mujer que está en una especie de estado de trance y ellos hablan con el espíritu que hay en ella, ordenándole que saliera de ella….
Acts 16:9-15 My wife and I once enjoyed a relaxing weekend in Port Townsend, Washington. As we roamed the town, we came upon an outdoor yard sale at the house of four young adults who lived together. The next thing we knew, we were playing croquet with them; we stayed for several hours! Had we…
Hechos 16:9-15 Una vez mi esposa y yo disfrutamos de un relajante fin de semana en Port Townsend, Washington. A medida que estábamos deambulando la ciudad, nos encontramos con una venta de patio al aire libre en la casa de cuatro jóvenes adultos que vivían juntos. ¡Lo siguiente que sabíamos, estábamos jugando al croquet con…
Acts 11:1-18 The Acts of the Apostles depicts Jesus’ early followers as observant Jews and the beginnings of the church as rooted within Judaism, yet is concerned with the expansion of the church from those origins to a movement spread throughout the Roman Empire. In the first part of today’s passage, verses 1-3, Peter’s fellow…
Hechos 11:1-18 El libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles describe a los primeros seguidores de Jesús como judíos observantes y los inicios de la Iglesia con raíces en el judaísmo, sin embargo, se refiere a la expansión de la Iglesia desde los orígenes hasta convertirse en un movimiento que se extendió por todo el…
Acts 9:36-43 Although this passage appears to be about individuals, it is about community. While the focus may, on the surface, appear to be on Peter, that misses the depth of the story. Peter willingly comes to the city from which Jonah left on his mission to the gentiles of Nineveh in order to give…
Hechos 9:36-43 Aunque este pasaje parece ser sobre personas, es en realidad sobre familias. Mientras que el enfoque puede, en la superficie, parecen estar en Peter, eso pierde la profundidad de la historia. Peter voluntariamente llega a la ciudad desde la que Jonás salió de su misión a los gentiles de Nínive, a fin de…
Acts 9:1-20 The blended character of the early Christian church, as a movement of both Jews and gentiles that challenged religious and social distinctions of the day, owes its existence not only to Jesus’ inclusive teachings, but largely to the work of a person who never met Jesus. The story of Saul of Tarsus in…
Hechos 9:1-20 El carácter mixto de la iglesia cristiana primitiva, como movimiento tanto de judíos como de gentiles que desafió las diferencias religiosas y sociales de la época, debe su existencia no sólo a las enseñanzas inclusivas de Jesús, sino en gran medida a la labor de una persona que nunca conoció a Jesús. La…
Acts 5:27-32 The chief priests are trying to silence the apostles’ preaching and the growing movement of Christ’s followers. The apostles have suddenly and miraculously been liberated from prison by an angel of God (Acts 5:17-26). Now they stand once again before the priests, who don’t get it. “We gave you strict orders … yet…
