Calvary Church

Acts: Witness Works Outward Pt.2

Acts: Witness Works Outward Pt.2
This is our next installment of our series called The Church the World Needs. In this series we are looking at how the church operated in the book of Acts. In this episode, Brad and Jeff recap where we've been, and discuss more around Paul's sermon.  Some extra notes from Jeff: It's intriguing that the Eunuch would journey to Jerusalem specifically to worship, as Mosaic Law forbade them from entering the temple/synagogue to worship (Deut 23:1).Perhaps since he had Isaiah 53 on parchment, there is a good chance he also had Isaiah 56 as well, or had at least read it. Isaiah 56:3-5 has a promise specifically for eunuchs who hold fast and true to the commandments and will of God's covenant to receive "an everlasting name which will not be eliminated." Perhaps that is what spurred him to visit Jerusalem for worship in the first place.Several biblical scholars see relevance in a possible link from the Acts 8 story to the prophecies in Zephaniah 2-3 concerning Cushites, specifically the prophecy in Zephaniah 3:10. Ethiopians are the descendants of the Cushites. The city in Gaza had been destroyed and then rebuilt in a new location decades before, and the old city was known as "Desert Gaza." The specific linguistic reference in Acts 8:26 harkens back to Zephaniah and reinforces the viable prophecy connection.

King of Kings (Worship Song)

King of Kings (Worship Song)
In this bonus episode of the Deep Dive, Calvary's Worship Leader, Caleb Carlson, joins Brad to deep dive the song King of Kings. It's often said that we "sing our theology." There's a reason that kids are taught things through song. God has gifted his church with songs to help us praise his name and to cultivate faith in us as we sing along with others. Check out this conversation for a bit more background on King of Kings and the impact that gospel-flow songs like this one have on the people of God as we come together to sing and worship Jesus. We hope it blesses you and allows you to sing it with even more meaning next time we gather. Lyrics   VERSE 1 In the darkness we were waiting Without hope without light Till from heaven You came running There was mercy in Your eyes To fulfil the law and prophets To a virgin came the Word From a throne of endless glory To a cradle in the dirt CHORUS Praise the Father Praise the Son Praise the Spirit three in one God of glory Majesty Praise forever to the King of Kings VERSE 2 To reveal the kingdom coming And to reconcile the lost To redeem the whole creation You did not despise the cross For even in Your suffering You saw to the other side Knowing this was our salvation Jesus for our sake You died VERSE 3 And the morning that You rose All of heaven held its breath Till that stone was moved for good For the Lamb had conquered death And the dead rose from their tombs And the angels stood in awe For the souls of all who’d come To the Father are restored VERSE 4 And the Church of Christ was born Then the Spirit lit the flame Now this gospel truth of old Shall not kneel shall not faint By His blood and in His Name In His freedom I am free For the love of Jesus Christ Who has resurrected me Words and Music by Jason Ingram, Brooke Ligertwood & Scott Ligertwood © 2019 Hillsong Music Publishing CCLI: 7127647   If there's any song or topic that you'd like to see featured in a future episode, email us at podcasts@calvary.church.
