Hi everyone, here is the latest video from Nijay Gupta and me, this time covering Acts 6-8, covering the establishment of the diaconate to the antics of Simon Magus.
I found the comment that Nijay made on the disciples not waiting at tables very interesting. After having been told that 1) followers of Jesus are meant to serve and 2) it's not a good look to say "that job is beneath me", that passage grated slightly every time I read it. To look at it in terms of "not the best use of gifts" makes more sense.
