1. God took care
of His chosen people Israel in the land of Egypt.
2. God endured the conduct of the Israelites for 40 years, but
still overthrew 7 nations and gave Israel their Promised Land.
3. Judges ruled from the death of Joshua until Samuel. At the end of this time the Israelites wanted a king.
God gave them Saul. When
God rejected Saul, he raised up David..."A
man after My own heart.".
4. Jesus came from the
lineage of David. John prepared the way by preaching repentance and baptism. The
message of salvation was sent first to the Jews. The Jews rejected the
message and killed Jesus. This was to fulfill prophecy.
5. Jesus was resurrected and showed himself to His disciples.
6. Therefore...the message of forgiveness is given to you. Make sure
you do not reject the
message and end up like others.
Paul and Barnabas
were asked to teach again on the next Saturday.
