If you've ever studied Luke or Acts with any kind of academic integrity you've certainly read something Dr. Joel Green has written. I (Clay) was most fortunate to have stumbled in his class my first semester of seminary and we consider ourselves just as fortunate to have had this conversation with Dr. Green to wrap up the book of Acts.

Huge thanks to Dr. Green for joining us.

"What should the Church resistors be worried about in your neighborhood right now" - Matthew Skinner. As the good news of Jesus marched on toward the ends of the earth it threatened the balance of wealth and power. And those who had wealth and power were predictably upset.
Join Clay and Ross as they break down Acts 15-20 and the implications following Christ could have on your savings account or political influence. Also, Paul bored a kid to death.

"What God has called clean, don't call unclean." In this section of Acts the Church came face to face with the implications of a faith open to non-Jews. Huge thanks to Bishop Willimon for helping us work through week two of Acts and thinking about how it still applies to us.
