21 Book of Acts - Chronology Phenomenal 1 st Century Spread of Gospel
22 Book of Acts - Mission Strategy Roman Road Cross-Cultural Cultural Witness Sodality Church-Planting Prayer Suffering Scripture Hope
23 Acts Strategy: Cultural Barriers Geography: Acts 16:9 Come over to Macedonia Language: Acts 14: Lyconia (Hermes & Zeus?) Ethnicity: Acts 16:20 - Jews customs unlawful to Romans Religion: Acts 19:24-28 Ephesian idol-makers Social Class: James 2:3 - rich & poor Communication & Understanding Conversion & Acceptance
24 Acts Strategy: Cultural Issues Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:1-31) Law vs. Grace? Wall & Canyon Cultural vs. Essential (handout) Communication & Understanding Conversion & Acceptance
25 Book of Acts You never know what you might encounter in taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth P. 18, The Worst-Case Scenario Survivor Handbook 1999 Chronicle Books
26 Acts Strategy: Witness Mαρτυρια Martyr Court witness, testimony. Public declaration Value of faith - worthy of suffering Two related words: Kηρυσσω = Preach Eυαγγελλω = Evangelize (120 times in N.T.)
27 Acts Strategy: Witness Preach / Evangelize What was preached? 75% = story of Jesus 12% = calls to repentance 13% = other (Scripture, false gospel, greetings) In other words, the central theme of preaching in the Bible is Jesus Christ and His Gospel
28 Acts Strategy: Witness Who was preached to? The direct object is the message, not the people. 60% of the time, the indirect object is a place, much of the rest of the time, it is a class of people. Implies little or no established relationship with the audience. No instance in the entire Bible of "preaching" the gospel to a group of believers! Preaching is directed at people who are not Christians = evangelism & missions!
29 Acts Strategy: Witness COMMON ELEMENTS: Μαρτυρια, Κερυγμα, ευανγελιον Authority: always comes from God Messenger: Usually an apostle or a prophet. Content: Person & Work of Jesus Audience: always non-christians. Response: Repentance and faith Result: Salvation (freedom from of sin and Satan) Effector of Result: always done by God! Contrasts: 1) Greek wisdom and 2) Judaism. Parallels: the Prophets and the Apostles.
30 Acts Strategy: Scripture Gospels: the message to communicate Acts: 24x where message is recorded verbatim (25% of the book = sermon templates!) Romans: preparation for European initiative (Glasser p. 135)
31 Acts Strategy - Sodality Organization of Missionaries Is the local church the only organization which should superintend missions? Paul s missionary training with Pharisees The challenge with my denomination
32 Acts Strategy - Sodality Biblical Basis 1 st SEND-OFF: Acts 13:1-4: at Antioch, in the church the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. Then when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went... 2 nd SEND-OFF: Acts 15:40 "committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord"
33 Acts Strategy - Sodality Historical Basis Old Testament New Testament Middle Ages Modern Age Sodality Modality
34 Acts Strategy: Sodality Example of Paul s Sodalities: Finances (I Thess. 2:9) working night and day so as not to be a burden Authority (I Cor. 14:32) spirits of the prophets are subject to prophets Membership (Acts 15:36-40) self-chosen, not inclusive Purpose (Acts 14:21-23) to plant churches, not to run them
35 Acts Strategy: Churches Goal: Church-Planting (not just evangelism) Matt. 16:18 - I will build my church Matt. 28: make disciples baptizing teaching all that I commanded Acts 2:38 - Peter repent and be baptized Acts 26: Paul receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.
36 Acts Strategy: Prayer Acts 2:42: What did they pray about? Jesus teaching on prayer and mission: Matt. 6:10 thy kingdom come Matt 5:44 pray for them that persecute you Matt. 9:38 thrust out laborers Mark 13:33 watch & pray KJV (cf 2 Pet 3:12ff) Luke 22:40 that ye enter not into temptation Matt. 17:18-21 Healing/Exorcism
37 Acts Strategy: Prayer Paul s prayer guidelines I Tim 2: 1-8 prayers be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority... Col. 4: 2-4 open a door proclaim clearly 2 Thess. 3:1-2 that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified... and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men
38 Acts Strategy: Prayer Speaking of Prayer Let s do it now!
39 Acts Strategy - Suffering Mark 10:29-30 along with persecutions Acts 9: how much he (Paul) must suffer for my Name s sake I Thess 3:2-3 - we have been destined for this. Col. 1:24-25 filling up that which is lacking in regard to Christ s afflictions I Peter 4:12-19 do not be surprised
40 Acts Strategy - Suffering Foxe s Book of Martyrs
41 Acts Strategy: Hope Col. 1:3-6 hope laid up for you in heaven which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing I Thess. 4:16-18 meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord, therefore comfort one another with these words. I Pet. 1:13 fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus...
42 Acts Strategy: Hope I John 2:28 abide in Him so that when He appears we may have confidence Rev. 7:9 behold a multitude, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb We must keep this vision alive. If Paul could saturate Asia in fewer than 30 years, what can the church today do in our lifetime?
