Episode 160 The Book of Acts as a Missional Map for Today

In this week’s episode, I offer a missional overview of the book of Acts. I cover three core aspects of the missional message of the book: Mission is spirit driven; Mission advances in spite of persecution through the bold and courageous witness of people; and the apostles use a variety of methods to fulfill the mission of God in their day.

Thank you, Brother Brian.🌹⭐🌹 Wonderful to find a solid,modern Arminian teacher/theologian who I find absolutely trustworthy. Off-topic: I've watched a few of your lectures on the Book of Psalms. Any suggestions on works on the topic or more generally on Jewish wisdom/poetry. Super- interested layperson here: academic is fine,but super-dry, not so much. Love all the content on the channel and frequently share it, esp on contemplation techniques. All the Best,Teacher.🌹⭐🌹

Thank you for your kind words Brenda. Are you asking about the Wisdom books in our Old Testament (Proverbs, Eccleasiastes, Song of Songs)? Let me know and I'll do my best to find some good resources.

@@deepdivespirituality Thanks for quick response. My focus is on the Psalms. I'll be getting the commentaries from New Beacon,any other ideas would be helpful. All the Best,dear Brother.🌹⭐🌹

For Psalms, I like James Mays' Psalms (Interpretation commentary). Also Brueggemann's Message of the Psalms and Longman's How to Read the Psalms are good intros to studying the book.
