All of Scripture points to Jesus. From Genesis to Revelation, stories, characters, and prophecies... it is all a shadow cast by Jesus, the Christ. This week we take a look at Paul reasoning with a synagogue full of Jews and Greeks to prove Jesus is the Christ and that he must suffer. He did this using the Scriptures... the writings from the Law of Moses, the Psalms, and the Prophets (which we commonly refer to in our day as the Old Testament). Today we look at what it is like to prove Jesus from the Old Testament.

Acts 17:1-9 | Proving Jesus From The Old Testament (Ken Duffy; 11.20.16)

Paul and Silas are in Berea, once again proclaiming the gospel. The men are met with a different group of Jews than those in Thessalonica. Rather than quickly rejecting the mens claims and seeking to do them harm, they instead put a lot of labor into searching through the Scriptures to validate their claims. As a result, many of the Berean Jews received the Lord Jesus as their promised savior.

Acts 17:10-15 | Examine The Scriptures (Ken Duffy; 11.27.16)

In Acts 17:16-34 we journey with Paul to the great city of Athens, Greece. While Paul awaits his partners in ministry, he is greatly troubled by what he sees. What bothered Paul so much in this modern city and how did he respond? This week we get a glimpse at how Paul witnessed to a secular culture.

Acts 17:16-34 | Evangelism in the First Century (Ken Duffy; 1.15.17)

Paul is discouraged... and frustrated. He knows God is sovereign. He knows it is God's ultimate plan that is being done. But nonetheless he laments over the hardheadedness of the Jewish people as they broadly and continuously reject the gospel of Jesus Christ. In Paul's despair, the Lord gives him a comforting reminder and clear instruction.

Acts 18:1-17 (God Saves His People; Ken Duffy; 1.22.17)
