BIBLE READING PLANNER

We continue the exciting story of the Acts of Jesus and his Apostles. The Apostle Paul made extensive missionary journeys often at great danger to himself. Christ appointed him particularly to preach to the Gentiles, but, even so in the area's that Paul visited, he usually  preached to the to the Jews at the local synagogue first of all.

The Roman world, with its improved roads and largely common language, was the background against which the Gospel spread rapidly. This was no accident. God chose to use the good communications of the Roman empire to spread His word.

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY - Acts 15 - Verses 14-17. The events of this chapter were crucial to the success of the Gospel. The call of the Gentiles was foretold in the Old Testament (for example, Amos 9:11-12).

MONDAY - Acts 16 - Belief (verse 31) and Baptism (verse 33) are again seen to be essential for all who want to be saved (verse 30).

TUESDAY - Acts 17 - The resurrection of Jesus is God's guarantee that He will send him to judge the world (verse 31).

WEDNESDAY - Acts 18 - The Jews had waited for MESSIAH = CHRIST = God's anointed prophet, priest and king. Jesus is the Christ (verse 28).

THURSDAY - Acts 19 - It is all too easy to go with the crowd in an unthinking manner. See verse 32. But Christ is greater than Diana, other false god, or indeed anything else which men worship.

FRIDAY - Acts 20 - Notice the affection among the disciples (verses 1, 31, 36-38).
