#139 - The Original"Good News"- Acts 10:34-43 - The Good News (pt. 3) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

Before anything was documented in writing, how did the disciples and the early church communicate the message of the"Good News"? In today's lesson, we will delve into the book of Acts and examine what biblical scholars consider to be the initial proclamation of the"Good News"concerning God's kingdom reign.

Luke, a Greek writer, employed a common literary technique of the first century by incorporating speeches to encapsulate the events and his message succinctly. Within the book of Acts, a total of eight speeches provide insights into the subtleties of the"Good News"message.

We will focus on dissecting the first speech by Peter to be delivered to a gentile audience in Acts 10:34-43. This analysis will aid us in comprehending the foundational proclamation that reverberated throughout the Greco-Roman world.The Cross as a Tree of Life - https://youtu.be/fqhcM5SSzs8
