Luke-Acts – What Jesus Began to Do and Teach: Jesus, Peter, Paul
The book of Acts is about what Jesus began to do and teach in His physical that He continued and continues to do and teach in His spiritual body, the church. The message is the kingdom. Seeing that Luke is the author of both Luke and Acts, let’s see how Jesus continued to do and teach through Peter and Paul. This also serves as a two-fold outline of Acts, comparing and equalizing Peter (1-12) and Paul (13-28).
- Jesus first sermon (Luke 4.15-27); Peter’s first sermon (Acts 2.14-40); Paul’s first sermon (Acts 13.13-41).
