  • Acts #9: Through Jesus, the uselessness of all religious systems (Acts 6); Patrice Berger : Summary: Through Jesus, uselessness of religious laws, holy places and "holy persons" to be made favorable to God. Constraints, virtuous efforts, pilgrimages, objects of devotion, appeals or prayers to emblematic religious figures are therefore useless. For is God contained in a place, object or matter. Amulet, lucky charm, idol or domestic temple are useless (it's even the opposite, these practices belong to the underworld). Reflections on animism and pantheism and the idolatry of the majority of religions.
  • Acts #8: Service and responsibilities in the Church (Acts 6); Patrice Berger : Summary : After the difficulties coming from the outside, it is from the inside that come the tensions which could stop the diffusion of the gospel to make social or divide the church by ethnic groups. The new community delegates reliable gospel-level assistants to supervise social work. These people are often recognized as the “prototypes” of what deacons will be like.

    • BBE summary for : Acts 6

    Summary: Acts Chapter 6 describes a significant moment in the early church as it confronted challenges related to its rapid growth. The chapter begins with a dispute arising between Hellenistic (Grecian) Jews and Hebraic Jews regarding the equitable distribution of food to widows. To address this issue, the apostles gather the disciples and propose the selection of seven men, known as deacons, who are of good reputation, full of the Spirit, and wise, to oversee this important task. The congregation selects seven, including Stephen and Philip, and they are presented to the apostles, who pray and lay their hands on them, signifying their commissioning. This act of delegating responsibilities allows the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the word. The chapter emphasizes the importance of leadership and service within the church body and highlights how proper organization can lead to growth and unity. As the chapter concludes, it notes that as the word of God continues to spread, many more people, including a large number of priests, come to faith. The key themes of service, community, and the importance of maintaining unity amidst diversity are evident, showcasing the early church's commitment to both spiritual and practical needs. Stephen, one of the seven deacons, is noted for performing signs and wonders, foreshadowing his significant role in the subsequent chapters.
