07 - Antioch in Pisidia -The Itineraries Of Paul
Antioch in Pisidia Last session we left off with Paul’s first recorded message in the book of Acts. We saw some of the great things as far how God structured the message. What he said was not something he wrote out ahead of time; something that he worked up by his five senses. Like Peter on the day of Pentecost; he said what God wanted him to say. That’s why what is recorded that Peter said on the day of Pentecost is so accurate. Structure wise, numerically and in every other way, what Peter said was just as perfect as the rest of God’s Word. What Paul said when he gave this message on that day was that perfect because it was God’s Word that he was speaking. That’s why you see such a beautiful pattern in here. We went over what all was covered in here. We saw how he started in his first verses with his introduction to the people. Acts 13:16: Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. Were there others there besides the men of Israel? Were there on the day of Pentecost? There were proselytes there. Peter conducted his introduction accordingly. Here, it wasn’t just to Israel but to everybody who feared or had a respect for God. He didn’t start with Jesus Christ. He started with the Old Testament; what they knew. Then he went into Jesus Christ’s life. Then he got into the resurrection. That’s what he had to teach in order for them to believe to get saved. Because you have to believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead if you’re going to get saved. All these things in here were vital and it’s structure-wise perfect because it’s God’s Word. Here’s the summation of this structure: A) Introduction – Acts 13:16 B) Old Testament (what they knew) - Acts 13:17-22 C) The life of Christ - Acts 13:23-29 C) The Resurrection of Christ - Acts 13:30-31 B) Old Testament examples (what they knew) - Acts 13:32-37 A) Promises and summation - Acts 13:38-41 Now you have a general structure of what was covered in thi
