Why are coffee cups shown after each half-hour of Les Feldick's television program?
Coffee cups appear after each half-hour program because the class takes a break while the cameras are renewed, giving everyone a chance to fellowship. The setting is informal, and the cups mark that pause between teaching segments. This break helps the television audience understand the class format and relaxed atmosphere.
Les explains that the coffee cups and similar items appear after every half-hour program because the class takes a break while they renew their cameras, and it gives them a chance to fellowship. He notes it is almost hard to get everyone back together, but the study remains informal, so the television audience can feel like part of the class. After that break, Les returns to Acts chapter 3, where Peter and John heal the lame man going up to the temple to pray. He is raised by the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and in verse 8 he leaps, stands, walks, enters the temple with them, leaping and praising God. In verses 9-10 all the people see him walking and praising God, recognize him as the one who sat for alms at the beautiful gate, and are filled with wonder and amazement. Les then marvels that Israel had seen manifestations of their God's power throughout history, yet it seemed to have so little effect on them.
