Life Study of the Bible

Did you realize that God obtained the church through His own blood (Acts 20:28)? This verse may seem somewhat unsettling, and even be a stumbling block to theologians. How is it that God can have blood? In this extraordinary programme, Witness Lee unveils the process God went through to purchase the church, bringing listeners into a fresh appreciation of the preciousness of the church to God.

Today we will look at Acts 20:13-38. Witness Lee opens up Paul’s declaring all the counsel of God during his three years in Ephesus – both publically and from house to house. How the overseers were designated, their role in the churches, and the persecution that Paul suffered due to his unwillingness to compromise the truth of the heavenly vision is also explored.

Through Paul’s prevailing preaching a great disturbance was stirred up in Ephesus. Satan’s fight against the spreading of the kingdom of God is exposed in this programme. We see an intense spiritual battle stirred up - not by those doing an ordinary, missionary or pastoral work – but through those in the primary focus of Gods move to carry out His economy. (Acts 19:23-20:12)

On today’s Life-study of Acts we explore the damaging mixture that was present in the church in Jerusalem (Acts 19:21-22). Paul purposed to go to Jerusalem and Rome, burdened to help Peter and James to correct the mixed situation that existed there. Join us as we consider what this mixture was regarding and the kind of influence it had on the early church.

Witness Lee opens up practical lessons regarding the problem caused by the ministry of the Apollos (Acts 18:23-19:20). Although gifted and pious, Apollos lacked a full revelation of God’s up-to-date move at that time. This deficiency is applied to church history and today’s situation. Three previous items recovered in God’s present move today are also highlighted.

What can we learn from Paul’s way of preaching in Acts 18? Instead of relying on eloquence, forms of entertainment or teachings of psychology we see a minister who put his trust firmly in the way of prayer, the word and the Spirit. Join us as we consider the biblical pattern and principles presented in Acts.

In today’s Life-study of Acts we continue to see the move of the Lord through the continent of Europe (Acts 18:1-22). How Paul supported himself and his co-workers whilst carrying out his ministry, the continual threat to his life, and his intimate care for the oneness of the Body is fellowshipped.

On today’ programme, we look at the spread of the gospel of Christ from Judea to Europe and how Paul preached in the synagogues and market places. Witness Lee highlights the spiritual constitution of Paul, the opposition from religious leaders, and important lessons we can learn from this revealing portion in Acts (Acts 17:1-34).

To suffer persecution on behalf of Jesus is not uncommon. We may consider that the biblical pattern for such suffering is to bear it humbly and meekly – yet there are other examples that demonstrate a completely different attitude for the sake of the gospel. We shall consider such an example today, with Paul claiming his rights as a Roman citizen in Acts 16:6-40.

On our weekly highlight programme Witness Lee covers Acts 16:6-10, detailing how Paul and his co-workers were led of God to go forth into Macedonia. We will pay particular attention to their being forbidden by the Holy Spirit and not allowed by the Spirit of Jesus in order to take a direct course in their travel, and the significance of these divine titles in God’s New Testament economy.

In Acts 15:35-16:5 we see how the apostle Paul began his second evangelical journey on a contentious note with Barnabas.

The significance of Paul circumcising Timothy in Acts 16 is also opened up.

Join us for our second programme on the first major problem faced by the church, in Acts 15. While the Bible is infallible and inerrant, how are we to understand the weaknesses and deficiencies recorded in the accounts of his servants? An important word concerning how we study the Bible is explained, providing a proper understanding that is faithful to and opens up the scriptures.
