Presentation transcript:

Abingdon Community Church Acts 21-28: Paul’s obsession (aka “the story continues”) Continuing series on Hebrews... Dorian introduced the book fantastically 2 weeks ago. I have been given chapter 2 and as I prepared, I realised that in fact we are still in the introduction of this letter – in fact doesn’t really read like a letter, more like a sermon: an exhortation to Christians facing temptation to go back to old Jewish faith or other ways of trying to connect with God because their Christian walk was hard going... But very elegantly written – spiral pattern: touches on main themes, flagging them up before he unpacks them fully, and keeps throwing in warnings and encouragements to his readers even before he gets to the main application at the end... So apologies because we will almost certainly cover some of the same ground as chapter 1, but hopefully we will also see how the writer here takes it further... Sunday 27 November 2016

Big themes in Acts Power of the Holy Spirit Spread of the gospel Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, ends of earth For EVERYONE – Jews & gentiles Church Opposition Prayer Boldness

Acts 21-28: what’s the point? Paul’s Passion meets God’s Plan Paul’s Proclamation meets God’s Power

Paul’s Passion & God’s Plan Paul’s desire / passion / ?obsession? Acts 19:21 ... Rom 1: 8-17 ... Rom 15:23-29 ... Acts 20:22-24 God’s plan Acts 1:8 ... Acts 26:15-18 ... Acts 23:11 ... Acts 27:23-26 WHAT IS MY / YOUR ‘OBSESSION’ ?

Paul’s Proclamation & God’s Power The story so far... Philippi vs Athens vs Corinth vs Ephesus Paul’s trials Malta as final example HOW ABOUT US? WILL WE DO THE SAME?

What, is that it? Acts 28:30-31? Is that the end of the story? Why finish here? Has gospel reached ‘ends of the earth’ ? Yes and no... Started in Jerusalem, now centred on Rome Luke’s journey motif... Shows the story still continues... WILL WE PLAY OUR PART IN THE ONGOING STORY?

What about Christmas? What is our priority in this next season? Who can we reach with good news in a season of good news? Are we keeping sight of the bigger picture & the longer term?
