The book of Acts

Luke’s gospel part 2 “ so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught ”

From Jerusalem to Rome

Arguments within Acts I  The words of the Lord Jesus in acts 1:8  The miracle at Pentecost (Peter - acts 2)  Philip to Samaria (Peter & John - acts 8)  Philip & the Ethiopian – acts 8

Arguments within Acts II  Peter & Cornelius – acts 10 & 11  Barnabas brought Paul to the church - acts 9  Barnabas brought Paul to Antioch - acts 11  Paul & Barnabas consulted Jerusalem – acts 15

Arguments within Acts III  Paul was an apostle as shown in Ephesus – acts 19  The success of the missionary journeys  The persecutions of Christians by Jews

Conclusions from Acts  Other leaders were involved  Paul had consulted with them  The Holy Spirit led the way

Arguments outside Acts  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep – John 10:11  Peter accepts the new Christians – 1 Pt 1:1-2  Peter supports Paul – 2 Pt 3:14-16  God is our Creator

John 10  “ The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep ”

Arguments outside Acts  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep – John 10:11  Peter accepts the new Christians – 1 Pt 1:1-2  Peter supports Paul – 2 Pt 3:14-16  God is our Creator

Lessons for me  Some things (never) change!  I must accept diversity as God-given  I must have an open mind towards new kids on the block  I must be willing to suffer for the realisation of God’s work
