A.D

The Name of Acts ½ of Luke/Acts, known as “A History of Christian Origins” By 2 nd century known as “The Acts of the Apostles” Actually “Some of the Acts of Some of the Apostles” Since 4 th Century – “Acts of the Holy Spirit”

Recipient Theophilus = “Loved of God” (Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1) A wealthy patron Eventually to more than one person – to the whole church (Philemon, 1 & 2 Timothy, and Titus were to more than just individuals)

Two Books – One Prologue LukeActs Luke 1:1-4

Purpose Historical Purpose (orderly account) Apologetic Purpose (know the certainty) Theological Purpose (the things you have been taught) ??

Luke the Writer The Beloved Physician (Col. 4:14) A Gentile (Acts 1:19 – their) The Greek is formal & polished. Frequently with Paul (we –16:6-10) With Paul in Roman Prison (Philemon 23-24; Col. 4:10-17)

Irenaeus (A.D. 180) says Acts was written by Luke.

2 Timothy 3: Peter 1:21

Theophilus – “loves…God” Starts where Luke ends Jesus appeared 40 days (3)

Kingdom of God (3) Political? (Herod, Crowds Jn. 6:15) Not of this world (John 18:36) Kingdom = “Reign or rule of God” Restore the kingdom to Israel? (6)

Promised Holy Spirit Acts 1:4Luke 24:49

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8) Theme of Acts

Outline of Acts 1:8

Outline of Acts 1:8 Jerusalem – (1-7) Judea & Samaria – (8-12) Ends of the Earth – (13-28)

Witnesses of the Resurrection “Witness” appears 29 times in Acts Greek (martus) – martyr Means “eyewitness” Eyewitnesses of the Resurrection (Acts 4:20; 1 John 1:1-3)

Jesus….will come back! (11) Ascension 2 nd Coming Now The In-Between Time

Waiting (12-14) Mount of Olives – overlooks Jerusalem Sabbath Day’s Walk – ¾ Mile Upper Room The Women (Lk. 8:1-3; 23:49)

Mary, Mother of Jesus This is the last time she appears in the New Testament (1:14).

Replacement for Judas (15-26) Peter takes the lead (15) 120 Believers were together Judas had killed himself (1:18; Matthew 27:3-9) Their language = Aramaic (1:19) Akeldama = Field of Blood

Requirements for New Apostle (Acts 1:21-22) A man (anēr = male) Been with them the whole time from John’s baptism to the Ascension

Apostle Selection Process Prayed Cast lots (Barsabbas or Matthias) –Leviticus 16:8 –Numbers 26:56 –1 Samuel 10:20-21 –Proverbs 16:33 –Jonah 1:7 –Last appearance of “casting lots” in New Testament –Not used to select elders (Timothy & Titus)

Matthias is Chosen Replaces Judas Apostleship was a mission, not an office. Eyewitnesses of the ministry and Resurrection of Jesus James was not replaced (12:2). Ready for the greatest chapter in the Bible.
