Rethinking Scripture Podcast

Episode 56: Acts 13-14 - Who Were Those "Appointed to Eternal Life?"

September 28, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall

*10-12-23 Note - The original release of this episode had some minor production errors. Those have been corrected and the new version is available for download. 

There are many ideas about how people get "saved." Is God in control of the whole process, or do people have some say in what they believe. There’s a story in Acts 13-14 that some think speaks to the topic. But we may not be understanding the passages ancient context? If that’s the case, we may have some rethinking to do!

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound 
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see"

Grace is amazing...but sometimes as we begin to walk with Christ for awhile, we can lose the awe and forget how amazing grace really is. As Paul makes his way to Pisidian, Antioch this week, he is going to preach a message laced in grace.  

And this message is a message we need. The Spirit of God is going to renew the awe and amaze us again with the greatness of the grace of God.

Last we heard about Saul and Barnabas, they were down in Jerusalem serving the church. This week, we’re going to see them back with the church in Antioch worshipping, praying, and fasting. We see in this church an insatiable desire to be with God. To pursue Him. They're hungry for the presence and power of God in their lives and in their church. 
 
And this hunger to be with God sets off a series of events that will change not just an island and the people on it, but literally the course of human history.
