  Athens & The Areopagus

  Sep 13, 202656 min

  Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Paul in Athens doesn't begin with Abraham or Moses. He begins where his audience is - their religious instinct, their altar to an unknown god, their poets - then moves from what they already sense to what they don't yet know: a God who made everything, needs nothing, and isn't far from any of us. The sermon is contextualisation without compromise. Paul affirms what's true in Athenian culture before announcing what's missing: the God they've been groping toward (v.27) has now spoken clearly, through a man he's raised from the dead. The resurrection divides the room - as it always does. The next question to ask - how do the methods Paul used apply to us in modern life? What idols are we and modern society worshipping instead of the one true God? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

  Thessalonica and Berea

  Sep 5, 202654 min

  Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith In Thessalonica, Paul reasons from Scripture that the Messiah had to suffer and rise, and that Jesus is that Messiah (v.3). Some are persuaded; others form a mob. The charge against Paul's community - these people who've turned the world upside down (v.6) - is meant as an accusation. Luke records it as a tribute. In Berea, the response is different: the Bereans receive the word eagerly and examine the Scriptures daily to test it (v.11). Luke calls them more noble, but even there, opposition follows.

  The Slave Girl; The Earthquake; The Jailer

  Aug 29, 202655 min

  Reader : Amy Caruana Preacher : Jonathan Smith First we meet a girl who is doubly enslaved - owned by men who profit from her, and possessed by a spirit that speaks through her. When Paul commands the spirit out in the name of Jesus, her exploiters don't rejoice at her freedom; they calculate their lost revenue and start a riot (v.19). The demonic and the greedy had been in comfortable partnership, and the gospel assaulted both. Later, Paul and Silas are beaten, thrown into the inner cell of a Philippian prison, and fastened in stocks. At midnight they're praying and singing, and the other prisoners are listening (v.25). It's one of the most poignant images in Acts. The earthquake that follows frees every prisoner - but no one escapes. The jailer asks the question everyone needs to ask: What must I do to be saved? Paul's answer is the simplest in the New Testament: Believe in the Lord Jesus and you'll be saved (v.31). By morning, a suicidal man is rejoicing with his newly-baptised family.

  Timothy; The Macedonian Call; Lydia | Acts 16:1-15

  Aug 22, 202651 min

  APOLOGIES: THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH PARTS OF THIS RECORDING. Some of the sound is indecipherable. Reader : Danita O'Loughlin Preacher : Jonathan Smith This passage is full of surprising turns. Paul circumcises Timothy - the same Paul who just fought at Jerusalem against circumcision as a requirement for salvation - because Timothy's mixed heritage would otherwise bar him from synagogue ministry. Principle and pragmatism aren't always opposites. Then the Spirit closes doors rather than opening them. Stuck in Troas, Paul receives the Macedonian vision, sending them west into Europe - a pivot whose consequences are almost impossible to overstate. The first convert is a businesswoman named Lydia, who goes from God-fearer to Jesus-follower (v.14-15). Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

  The Letter, The Road Parts and The Apostles Split | Acts 15.22-41

  Aug 15, 202641 min

  Reader : Jake Elzo Preacher : Jonathan Smith The council's letter acknowledges the unnecessary burden that had been placed on Gentile believers without their authorisation. Regarding their direction to abstain from certain things, scholars generally read their intentions in one of three overlapping ways: 1. Leviticus 17–18 background. The four prohibitions match, in roughly the same order, the requirements Leviticus lays on the "foreigner residing among" Israel. 2. Table fellowship. These are the practices most viscerally offensive to Jewish believers - the things that would make it impossible for a Jewish Christian to sit at a table with a Gentile one. 3. A clean break with paganism. All four items cluster around the pagan temple - idol food, ritual meat, and the sexual immorality that was woven into temple culture. The Gentiles receive the letter with joy (v.31), but the passage ends uncomfortably: a sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark, who'd deserted them earlier, is so severe they part company. Luke doesn't judge - he simply reports it and moves on. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.
