Paul's Pattern of Evangelism

Pastor Martin completes his survey of apostolic preaching in Acts, walking through Acts 5, 8, 10, 13, 17, 20, and 26 to show that the present kingship of Jesus Christ was a constant note in evangelism whether to Jews, Samaritans, or pagan Gentiles. Paul's gospel of repentance and faith, the gospel of the grace of God, and the gospel of the kingdom are one and the same gospel. He concludes with three sober applications: all true preaching must include the note of an enthroned Savior, all preaching that omits it dishonors Christ and deceives men, and all teaching that deliberately denies it is another gospel. The sinner's basic problem is that he wants to keep the throne of his own life and still go to heaven.
