Acts
|
|||||
Luke begins the Book of Acts where he
left off in his gospel. Acts records
the initial fulfillment of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20 as it
traces the beginning and growth of the New Testament church. Christ's last words before His ascension
were so perfectly realized in the Book of Acts that they effectively and
concisely outline its contents: "
' You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem [chs. 1-7], and in all Judea and
Samaria [chs. 8-12] and to the end of the earth [chs. 13-28]' " (1:8),
Thus, Acts traces the rapid expansion of the gospel, beginning in Jerusalem
and spreading throughout the Roman Empire.

Sunday, November 3, 2013, Pastor Duckett preached from the book
of Acts.
John
|
|||||
The Gospel of John is
a gospel apart. Matthew, Mark, and
Luke are called the synoptic gospels because, despite their individual
emphases, they describe many of the same events in the life of Jesus of
Nazareth. John draws mainly upon
events and discourses not found in the other gospels to prove to his readers
that Jesus is God in the flesh, the eternal Word come to earth, born to die
as God's sacrifice for human sin.
Seven miraculous signs prove that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and that believing you may
have life in His name" (20:31).
No finer gospel tract has ever been penned than John's inspired
account of Christ's life, death and resurrection.
