In Acts 13, where we explore the beginnings of Paul’s ministry and his approach to sharing the Gospel. Have you ever wondered how to effectively communicate the message of Jesus to different audiences? This study will help us understand Paul’s method and its relevance for us today.

Of this man’s offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. Acts 13:23

• John Mark left the group and returned to Jerusalem
• Paul’s practice was to first visit the synagogue in each new city
• The synagogue was a place for studying God’s Word, not for sacrifices
• Paul was invited to speak after the reading of the law and prophets
• Paul’s method: Start with familiar history, lead to Jesus as the promised Savior
• He emphasized Jesus’ death, resurrection, and the forgiveness of sins
• Paul warned about the consequences of rejecting the message

“Therefore take heed so that the things spoken of in the prophets may not come upon you.” (Acts 13:39)

It’s clear that Paul’s approach to sharing the Gospel was both strategic and powerful. He met people where they were, using their own history and understanding to lead them to Jesus. This reminds us that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the source of true freedom. Whether we’re sharing our faith with others or deepening our own understanding, let’s remember that the message of Christ’s death and resurrection remains central to our faith journey.
