Bible Reading - Firsts - Acts 2-4 a talk by David Cook

Bible Reading - Firsts - Acts 2-4 is a David Cook talk recorded at Keswick Convention - 2018 on Bible Interpretation available as DVD format. The late Professor of Classics at Auckland University, E.M. Blaiklock, summed the book of Acts up like this, 'To press outward from the fringe is always sound policy, provided it is done with vigour and devotion'. This is Luke's second volume, and in the first, his Gospel, he singlemindedly follows the Lord Jesus from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. In Acts he is equally unrelenting in that he records the progress of God's gospel from Jerusalem out to the ends of the earth, namely Rome. The unstoppable nature of God's Word is stressed in Luke's final word in Acts. It is an adverb relating to the preaching of
the gospel - the word is 'unhinderedly'. Messengers come and go, then and today, but we equally carry God's powerful gospel to a world which evidences each day its greater need of rescue.
