Psalm 1 / Acts 1:15-17, 21-26

On this last Sunday of the season of Easter, we read about the days immediately following Christ’s resurrection and ascension. The first task is the replacing of Judas among the apostles.

Notice how Peter uses Scripture to interpret the apostasy of Judas in Acts 1:16 (referencing the Psalms quoted in Acts 1:20).

Pay close attention to the method they use to find new apostles — prayer, but also casting lots. What do you think about this? What does this say about the way we go about discerning qualified ruling elders at MBPPC?
