Acts 28:11-31

  In Rome
The Church grows
• Paul had been the first to share the gospel in
  Europe
• On his third journey, he had written to Roman
  Christians
• Now he finds believers everywhere
• In Puteoli
• From Rome, Paul was encouraged and gave
  thanks
• The fellowship of the saints
• This is a strange victory parade
The message is consistent
• Centred on Jesus
• Proclaiming Christ from the scriptures
• The Holy Spirit speaking through the scriptures
• Explaining and declaring the kingdom of God
• “Tried to convince them about Jesus”
• Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we
  try to persuade men (2 Corinthians 5:11)
• “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though
  God were making his appeal through us. We
  implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to
  God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
The ministry continues
• To the Jews
o The Jews had been responsible for many of Paul’s
  problems
o The leaders had plotted his death
o Why did he waste his time?
o “Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God
  for the Israelites is that they may be saved”
  (Romans 10:1)
o Do we need to go to the same people again?
o Some were convinced
The ministry continues
• To the gentiles
o They will hear
o He welcomed all
o “All the saints send you greetings, especially
  those who belong to Caesar’s household”
  (Philippians 4:22)
The ministry continues
• To the church
o Confinement must have been difficult for Paul
o “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth,
  words may be given me so that I will fearlessly
  make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I
  am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may
  declare it fearlessly, as I should.” (Ephesians 6:19-
  20)
o “As a result, it has become clear throughout the
  whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am
  in chains for Christ.” (Philippians 1:13)
The ministry continues
o “And pray for us, too, that God may open a
  door for our message, so that we may
  proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am
  in chains.” (Colossians 4:3)
o We may never have had the blessing of the
  prison letters were it not for this time
• To the outcast
o “I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who
  became my son while I was in chains”
  (Philemon 10)
The story is not finished
•   Why does Acts finish ‘in the air’
•   Paul had not finished
•   The story goes on
•   The last word is ‘akōlytōs’ - freely

The message is consistent • Centred on Jesus • Proclaiming Christ from the scriptures • The Holy Spirit speaking through the scriptures • Explaining and declaring the kingdom of God • “Tried to convince them about Jesus” • Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men (2 Corinthians 5:11) • “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
  • 4. The ministry continues • To the Jews o The Jews had been responsible for many of Paul’s problems o The leaders had plotted his death o Why did he waste his time? o “Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved” (Romans 10:1) o Do we need to go to the same people again? o Some were convinced

  • 6. The ministry continues • To the church o Confinement must have been difficult for Paul o “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” (Ephesians 6:19- 20) o “As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.” (Philippians 1:13)
  • 7. The ministry continues o “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.” (Colossians 4:3) o We may never have had the blessing of the prison letters were it not for this time • To the outcast o “I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains” (Philemon 10)
  • 8. The story is not finished • Why does Acts finish ‘in the air’ • Paul had not finished • The story goes on • The last word is ‘akōlytōs’ - freely
