Jesus Breaks Down Walls of Separation || Acts 8 with Trulan Martin

Jesus Breaks Down Walls of Separation || Acts 8 with Trulan Martin

How does the Gospel break down walls? Joined by guest Trulan Martin, we begin Part 2 of Acts, looking at Acts 8. We see how the persecution led by Saul scattered the early church and propelled the gospel beyond Jerusalem. They follow Philip the evangelist as he preaches the Gospel in Samaria and to an Ethiopian official. Along the way, we dig into the history of the Samaritans, examine the strange account of Simon the Sorcerer, and see how God strategically used Peter and John in Samaria to tear down centuries of hostility between two people groups. This episode helps us reflect on the walls we put up in our lives and how the Gospel breaks those divisions down.

Are You Repeating Generational Sin? || Acts 7 with Anthony High

Why was Stephen rejected and stoned? In this episode, Anthony High steps into the role of Bible teacher, switching seats with Arlin, who hosts the conversation. They examine Acts 7, which shows the life of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. He was rejected for boldly proclaiming the truth before the Sanhedrin. In his speech, Stephen confronts the sins of the culture and exposes patterns of rebellion throughout Israel’s history. Though the Sanhedrin were “cut to the heart,” they chose to reject the message, harden their hearts, and stone him. This episode reveals how ignoring truth can be detrimental to our spiritual lives, and challenges listeners to consider whether they will recognize and respond to God’s voice or resist Him.
