Presentation transcript:

Jerusalem: (Acts 2: 1-8: 3) Judea and Samaria: (Acts 8: 4-12: 25) Ends of the earth: (Acts 13-28)

Foreshadowing of Jewish rejection and Gentile succession (Lk 4: 24; 7: 9; 13: 22-30) Three stages of fulfillment of Acts 1: 8: 1. Failure of mission to Jews 2. Mission to Samaria and Judea 3. Full-blown mission to Gentiles, starting with Acts 10: 1-48

Initial requirement to preach only to Jews (Acts 3: 25-26) Jewish rejection, due to apostles preaching about resurrection (Acts 4: 2), jealousy of Jewish religious leaders (Acts 5: 17) and apostles’ blame of Jewish leaders for death of Jesus (Acts 2: 36)

Role of Holy Spirit: Awaiting the Holy Spirit (Acts 1: 1-5, 8) Pentecost/conferral of Holy Spirit (Acts 2: 1-4) Universal availability (Acts 2: 5-11, 38-39) A sign of the end times (Acts 2: 17-20)

The Apostles’ Preaching: Sermons as exemplars of Christian preaching Theme of Jesus’ resurrection and the need for repentance. Also apologetic Use of speeches for literary effect Contradictions (e.g. Acts 5: 36)

Establishment of the Church (Gk ekklesia, first used in Acts 5: 11): Features: 1. Sharing of goods (Acts 2: 42-46; 4: 32-37; 5: 1-11) 2. Led by apostles and elders 3. Initially Jewish heresy (Nazoreans). Christians called selves followers of “the Way (of Salvation).” Only “Christians” from Acts 11: 26

The Christians’ Innocence: Rejoicing in suffering (Acts 5: 41-42); imitating Christ Miracles: Healings, imitating Christ, as in Acts 3: 1-10 Miraculous prison breaks (Acts 5: 17-26; 12: 1-11; 16: 25-34)
