Deuteronomy — The Book of Remembrance

The Book of Deuteronomy is a sermon given by Moses on his last days on earth and focuses on one of the most critical issues - what it means to love God. It was written to teach us that living as the people of God means that we are a people of devotion and love. No matter how often we fail, God will continue to be faithful to us. God chose Israel to be His people simply because He loved them. While we are not Israel, and while we are not 'under the law', we are still His people and loved by Him. As we imagine what it would be be like to perfectly obey the laws of Deuteronomy, we see an image of love, devotion to God, and holy justice. We're encouraged to choose genuine life - the life that saturation in God's word imparts, the life that sin can never give, the abundant life that is found in Jesus alone. This life focuses on loving God and keeping His commandments, which is exactly what Christ expects of us. 

Acts — The Gospel Unleashed

 The Acts of the Apostles — The Gospel Unleashed! 

As a sequel to the gospel of Luke, Acts continues the story of Christianity in the 1st century, beginning with the ascension of Jesus to Heaven and carries us through the developmental years of Christianity. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, describe the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit) and the growth of the church in Jerusalem. The book of Acts is an important book for understanding the actions of the apostles, mostly Paul and Peter, after Jesus's ascension into Heaven. Acts is a sure witness to the reality of Christ’s power in believers. It is an important book in understanding how we can be directed by the Holy Spirit, the role of Jesus' lessons in our lives, and what the result of this assurance and acceptance can be in our lives.

Luke

The Gospel According To Luke — The Savior Of The World! 

The Gospel according to Luke is the first part of a two-volume work that continues the biblical history of God’s dealings with humanity found in the Old Testament, showing how God’s promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ and how the salvation promised to Israel and accomplished by Jesus Christ has been extended to the Gentiles ... and to everyone.

Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew — Prophesy Fulfilled, The King and the Kingdom! 

Matthew, more than any of the Gospel writers, connects events and utterances in the life of our Lord with the Old Testament predictions. Written originally for the Jews, the Gospel presents Christ as Son of David, and the Son of Abraham. The people of Israel were waiting for the Messiah, their king. Matthew shows how Jesus Christ was a descendent of David and shows that God did not send Jesus to be an earthly King, but a heavenly king. His Kingdom would be much greater than David's because it would never end. Let this study help you recognize Jesus for who he really is, celebrate his victory over evil and death, and worship him as King of our lives.
