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.
