Paul Preaching at Pisidian Antioch
Luke records three of Paul's missionary sermons in Acts, the first here in Pisidian Antioch. The sermon can be broken down in different ways. Some suggest three helpful sections: Exposition of the historical narrative (Paul roots his sermon in the history of Israel; nobody can say this is Christians rewriting the past); Proclamation of the gospel (Paul makes it clear that it is a central point of the message of the Old Testament); and Conclusions to be drawn (our eternity rests on our response to the message; even the negative response to the gospel is a fulfilment of the Word of God).
