Rethinking Luke & Acts: Interview with Michael Bird

Ever wondered what the books of Luke and Acts teach us about God, Jesus, and the early church? How do they relate to each other, and what do they mean for us today? Michael Bird dives deep into these questions, providing an accessible and compelling introduction to the narrative of Luke-Acts in his book: A Bird's-Eye View of Luke and Acts: Context, Story, and Themes.

Bird unfolds the cohesive narrative about Jesus, the Church, and the mission of God, offering insights with implications for our lives today. Situating both books in their historical and literary context, Bird explores their central theological themes and concludes with reflections on their relevance for contemporary social issues.

BLOG BY DAWSON JARRELL:

PRAYER & PRAISE:

We are extremely grateful for all of our prayer warriors who support the show and our team with intercessory prayers each week. Here are a few prayer points to focus on this week. Thank you for your prayers!

Prayer: Prayer for humility as we continue to present the arguments for continuationism. Prayer for open doors to have beneficial discussions with cessationists on the show and in daily discourse. Prayer for the teachings in our episodes and the study guide to be useful tools for audience members in their own discussions with cessationists. Prayer for God’s Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to be known and used biblically in churches across the world.

LAST WEEK’S SHOWS:

If you missed joining us for the live watch party, you can still enjoy the show! Watch our most recent episodes:

Is the KJV Too Archaic? Mark Ward Shares Study Results

Mark Ward asserts that the difficulties for vital understanding caused by the archaism of the King James Version are more important than the textual differences valued by KJV-only proponents.

To evaluate his assertion, he conducted the King James Bible Study Project, a national phone survey of 100 pastors who preach and teach exclusively from the King James Bible that ran from November 2022 through April 2023.

We'll talk with Mark and hear the results of his study project.

Responding to Rosebrough & Peters

So one of our shorts from our review of the Cessationist film caught the attention of cessationist Justin Peters.

He’s provided a video response, so we’ll examine the arguments he and his guest Chris Rosebrough present.
