Introduction The next two lessons focus on the book of Acts, where Luke continues the Gospels’ story. Luke’s two books fit together seamlessly to show that Acts, like his gospel, is a record of Jesus’s ministry. In fact, Luke opens Acts by referring to his gospel: “The first account I gave, Theophilus, was about all that Jesus began both to do and to teach.” And we can conclude that Acts is what Jesus is continuing to do and teach.
I. Luke’s Message in Acts
II. Jesus’s Strategy to Change the World
IV. Two Kinds of Passages
Conclusion If Luke were writing about the church today, what would he write? Would it be a story of people loving and ministering to each other? Would it include people helping those in need? Would he write about churches resolving their conflicts in a spirit of love? Would unbelievers say, “You know, I want to be part of that movement”? Would his narrative read, “God is adding daily to the church those who are being saved”? These are questions it would serve us well to ask ourselves.
