PAUL DECLARED THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Passage: Acts 28:23~31
Keyverse: 30,31
1. Paul taught the Jewish leaders (23-27)
The Jewish leaders wanted to hear more from Paul, so they came
later in even larger numbers. Paul had a deep and intensive scripture study
with them that lasted all day, declaring to them the kingdom of God and trying
to convince them about Jesus through the Law and Prophets. Some believed and
some didn't. But Paul wasn't deterred. He saw this through the eyes of Isaiah
that their hearts were calloused to the word of God.
2. The Gentiles will listen! (29-31)
The Jews continued to reject God and His word. Not only were their
hearts calloused, their spiritual eyes were blind, and their spiritual ears
were deaf. They were dead to God. But Paul didn't stop preaching the word. So
Paul declared to them that God had sent the gospel to the Gentiles. And the
Gentiles would certainly listen! Paul spent the next two years in his rented
home, preaching about the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for sending your Gospel. Help the many to believe your word.
One Word: Teach about the Lord Jesus Christ
