Ps Gareth Hayes, Contribute.
Luke 1:- Luke was the only gentile to chronicle Jesus' journey.
- Disputed as to when he wrote the gospel.
- Written to Theopoulos, ( a Roman official).
- Luke also wrote Acts, as a sequel.
Acts1:1 -Acts is more a record of the church, (worldwide).
- where the gospel is covering the life of Christ. To ensure that Christians understand Jesus' truth for us.
acts1:1Do and teach.
- Theres no real conclusion to acts, because it continues in us. Jesus' teaching is still going on in us.
Acts 2 - The church started at pentecost.
- Jesus came to Earth 100% man/100%God.
- The church and it's people are to complete Gods purpose on Earth.
- Stephen witnesses to and saves 3 000 people but gets stoned to death.
- Saul becomes a believer in Christ.
- In looking at the diversity of the 12 apostles, it shows that Jesus could, and did use anyone.
- Jesus still hasn't finished his work on Earth.
- Even with all the evil coming against God. God still wins!
- The gates of hades will never be closed against gods people. But with God we can overcome all things.
- Gods church is not the buildings, but is actually all the people.
- Jesus is the cornerstone, the cornerstone is the foundation.
- the body of Christ,(us), we are his voice.
- If we don't spread his word, we can restrict him. There are no spectators in the kingdom, so get involved, (volunteer), to do something/ anything, but contribute.
- Everyone has something to offer.
- You can't steer a boat that's not moving.
- Get the ball rolling. Do something/ anything.
- You don't need to be able to do everything, just find the thing you can do, to contribute.
- You can't just "take" all the time, you must also contribute. Otherwise everyone ends up taking.
