What does it mean that salvation went to the Gentiles — and why did Israel's rejection make it possible? Acts 18 & 28 hold the answer.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study, we walk through the final chapters of Acts, beginning with Paul's arrival in Corinth where he meets Aquila and Priscilla, fellow tentmakers who become key carriers of Paul's gospel of grace. We follow Apollos — an eloquent, Old Testament scholar from Alexandria — who knew only the baptism of John, and how this Jewish couple expounded the way of God more completely to him. Then we trace Paul's journey to Rome under arrest, his final appeal to the Jewish leaders there, and the pivotal declaration of Acts 28:28 that salvation is sent to the Gentiles.
📖 Key Topics Covered:
• Acts 18:1-3 — Paul, Aquila & Priscilla as tentmakers in Corinth
• Acts 18:24-26 — Apollos: mighty in Scripture but knowing only John's baptism
• Galatians 1:11-12 — Paul's gospel received by revelation, not instruction
• Acts 28:16-28 — Paul under house arrest in Rome, final appeal to Jewish leaders
• Isaiah's prophecy quoted in Acts 28 — Israel's hardened heart foretold 600 years before Christ
• The difference between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven
• Why Rome tolerated Judaism but persecuted Christianity
• The meaning of "Lord Jesus Christ" — the most complete title for our Savior
