Acts242: Devoted to the Apostles' Teaching
Acts 2:42 in the NASB95 translation reads "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." But within a short time false teachers started "drawing away disciples after themselves" to such a degree that the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths." The time the apostle spoke of was then...but it also is now.
We want the spirit of Acts 2:42 for ourselves, not the spirit of modern Christianity. We therefore want to devote ourselves to the apostles teaching, to fellowship, to breaking bread, and to prayer. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." While true and final satisfaction awaits glory, God does reward those who seek Him now. As much as I am able as God gives me light and liberty, I plan to share those things of the apostles teaching with you all to aid in that journey.

Galatians 3B - Are You Abraham's Seed?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The latter half of Galatians chapter 3 is all about Abraham. It makes the sometimes difficult to understand statement about the seed of Abraham being singular (when it clearly seems to us plural??). This episode explains why Paul saw this as singular and indeed of course (let God be true and every man a liar) it is! Is God going to faithful with that promise to His seed? And do you know if you are included in the seed? Listen to the episode and find out.
If you want the notes from this episode or just want to reach out for shepherding or discussion or if you want to help me (always appreciated) with some loving correction I would very much appreciate it. You can reach me at acts242podcast@gmail.com.
