Dear Friends in Christ,

So onto our study of Acts using Revolutionary Bible Study.

Edwards Key points -

  • Year 30 CE/a.d

  • March 30 - April 4 - Passion of the Christ

  • April 7 - Resurrection

  • May 29 - Coming of Holy Spirit and the founding of Church

  • May 30 - Crowd hears of Jesus and stays in Jerusalem

  • “Church life was spontaneous, part of divine nature of God express by” people. p. 34

My Thoughts on the Bible- 

The telling of the formation of the Church is hyperactive and always in motion.

  • Jesus’ resurrection and teaching for 40 days about the Kingdom of God.

  • Jesus’ ascension with angels - message the Holy Spirit will come.

  • Believers spend time together in prayer waiting and watching

  • Peter speaks and ties Jesus to the history of God with Israel.

  • Appoint Matthias as a replacement for Judas - 12 disciples/12 tribes of Israel

  • Holy Spirit comes as a mighty wind. Spirit gives the ability to speak in unlearned languages

  • Peter speaks using Joel 2:28-32. Jesus is the fulfillment of Scripture.

    • Ties Jesus into the salvation history of Israel

  • What can we do? Repent and be baptized in name of Jesus for forgiveness and receiving of the Holy Spirit.

  • Gathered together day by day praising God and sharing possessions.

  • And their numbers increased.


God blesses people and ministry.

In Christ,

Dave Eitland

Parables - New Wineskins

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires and

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each person
