Dear Friends in Christ,
Edwards Key points -
Herod is divorced and remarried
Saul (Paul_ moves to Jerusalem to study and become mad at the new Christian group.
Church in Jerusalem has problems of too many believers and living as one community.
My Thoughts-
Ananias & Sapphira lie about holding back some of the proceeds of property sale and are struck down dead.
The Church continues to grow in Jerusalem.
The high priest becomes jealous of the new sect attracting people, arrests the leaders, angels do jail break.
Church leadership wants to kill new sect leaders but one of the wise ones tells them if it is of God it will last - if it does not it will fade. They whip them and let them go.
They rejoice to be able to suffer for the name of Jesus. (v 3:41)
They continued to teach regardless.
People are led to Jesus through the Holy Spirit and others teaching about Jesus.
In Christ,
Dave Eitland
