This Side of Easter: Being Surprised (May 6, 2018)
Friday May 25, 2018

This is Acts 10 where Peter is surprised by what God is calling him to do, set aside almost everything he has previously known. What is it that we have previously held as true and God has surprised us with what we need to do?

This Side of Easter: The Name of the Good Shepherd -- April 22, 2018

The text is from Acts 4: 5-12 but we backed up a little to include Acts 4: 1, and annoyance of the Religious Authorities.
The focus is on Peter and his transformation. He is done denying Jesus.
Who are we in this scene? The status quo? The change? The listeners who go with the SQ or change? The questions are directed individually and corporately.

This Side of Easter: Resurrection Remembered -- April 15, 2018

Acts 3 -- Mario looks at Peter (and John) who focus on remembering Jesus as resurrected. What does it mean indeed to live on this side of Easter? Part of it of course is to remember "he is risen, he is risen indeed." Mario relies on N. T. Wright for part of his settling down points. Tom Wright has made a visit or three to Hilltop ... great source for helping us frame our conversations.
I also like how he used Acts 3 to be a place to talk to 1 Corinthians and Paul. I like illustrations from the scripture!
