    Acts 2 verses 33-35 are strangely, and sadly, not found anywhere in the weekly lectionary. I have sought to address them here, in their immediate context.

    THE "SHEDDING ABROAD" OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 2:32-36. This is a compact set of verses, brim-full of theological gems: i. The crucifixion of Jesus (Acts 2:36); ii. His resurrection (Acts 2:32); and iii. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33). The passage is also ...read more

    When we choose to live in the Spirit, we can conquer all thee stuff that life in the flesh throws at us.
