And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ 23 Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. 24 Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

Remind us that God is there..

God uses those after his heart

Those who are humble

Jesus who is God our Savior

Since the beginning Gods word has been about Jesus and restoring us back to the father…

Isaiah 53:3-5 (ESV)

3 He was despised and rejected by men,  a man of sorrows and acquainted with  grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces     he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken,     smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,  and with his wounds we are healed.

Gods word is true

Psalm 119:160 (ESV)

For those of us who have experienced this saving truth, it is like a secret door we should be making known as much as possible

A Chosen Truth

Acts 13:27

27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

Jesus teaches about the vine and the fruit

John 15:16 (ESV)

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

A Paintful Truth

Acts 13:28 (ESV)

28 And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

Why did Jesus die on the cross?

John 14:30-31 (ESV)

30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

Because the father asked him to and because love is obedience..

Jesus took our place for the sin we deserved

John 1:29 (ESV)

A Good Truth

Acts 13:30-32a (ESV)

30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news

So if the truth is God is love

That God created us to love Him

That our sin separated us from God

The good truth is God provided a way for us to love him again

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (ESV)

Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

The Truth fulfills

Acts 13:32b- 37 (ESV)

…that what God promised to the fathers, 33 this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’ 34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ 35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’ 36 For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom God raised up did not see corruption

Psalm 2:7 (ESV)

You are my Son, today I have begotten you

Gods word Transforms

Acts 13:38-42 (ESV)

. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about: 41 “‘Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish; for I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’” 42 42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath.

Freed from everything

Living by the law vs living by Jesus

20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
