To the Ends of the Earth

The book of Acts is a description of the Gospel, from Jerusalem to the “uttermost part of the earth”, from primarily Jewish listeners to the Gentiles as well. As the Gospel went out from Jerusalem, the Jews rejected the good news, and persecuted those who rejected the Gospel. This series will focus on the expansion of the Gospel as a result of Paul’s journeys, in particular into the key cities, which are the eventual reasons for Paul writing the Epistles. Without the book of Acts we would turn in the New Testament from the Gospel of John to Romans, and ask, “How did the Gospel ever get from the Jews in Jerusalem to the Gentiles in Rome?”
