Bonus Episode: Acts

with Dr. Darrell Bock
Dr. Bock is back to continue his conversation with Michael about the words of Luke found in the New Testament.

In this conversation, Michael and Dr. Bock discuss:

  • Luke’s authorship
  • Geographic significance of the literary structure of Acts
  • Expanse and influence of the Roman Empire
  • The significance of Pentecost
  • Water Baptism v. Baptism of the Holy Spirit
  • The early church

Scripture referenced:

  • Jeremiah 31:31
  • Romans 6:8
  • Peter’s Sermon:
    • Joel 2,
    • Psalm 16
    • Psalm 132:11
    • 2 Samuel 7 (the Davidic covenant)
    • Psalm 110:1
  • Ephesians 1

“The point of the book as a whole is that the word of God is triumphantly getting out and is moving from Jerusalem to Rome; and from there, it can go anywhere…
The triumph of what Acts calls the word of God: the message of the gospel.”

Galatians

How do you know if a person is saved?

This is precisely the question Paul addresses to the church in Galatia.
