Sunday
Morning: May 30, 2004
Text: Luke 8:9-11 "And his disciples asked him, saying,
What might this parable be? 10. And he said, Unto you it is given to
know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing
they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11. Now the
parable is this: The seed is the word of God."
Luke
3:3 "And he (John the Baptist)
came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins;"
Matthew
3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand."
Matthew
3:13-15 "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee
to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14. But John forbad
him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15. And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him."
Matthew
10:5-7 "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and
into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6.
But go rather to the lost [perfect tense, perish]
sheep of the house of Israel. 7. And as ye go, preach, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Romans
1:16-17 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ: (kingdom message) for it is the power of God
unto [eiv, leading to] salvation (so great salvation) to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17. For
therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is
written, The just shall live by faith."
Acts
17:1-2 "Now when they had passed through Amphipolis
and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath
days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,"
Acts
17:10-11 "And the brethren immediately sent away
Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue
of the Jews. 11. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily, whether those things were so."
Acts
17:17 "Therefore disputed he in the synagogue
with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them
that met with him."

be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of

as many as the Lord our God shall call."

(Peter) that is a Jew to keep company, or come

me that I should not call any man common or unclean."
Acts
10:34-37 "Then Peter opened his mouth, and
said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35. But
in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him (God). 36. The word which God sent
unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus
Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37. That word, I say, ye know, which
was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism
which John preached;"
Acts
10:42-43 "And he commanded us to preach unto
the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be
the Judge of quick and dead. 43. To him give all the prophets
witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission
of sins."
Acts 10:44-46 "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on
all them which heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46. For they
heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,"

called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before
Paul and Silas, 30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I
do to be saved?
31.
And they
said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
32.
And they
spake unto him the word of the Lord [God,
Nestles, 24th], and to all that were in his house.
33.
And he took
them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized,
he and all his, straightway."
Acts
13:44-46 "And the next sabbath day came almost
the whole city together to hear the word of God. 45. But when the
Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy,
and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and
blaspheming. 46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was
necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you
(Israel): but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting
life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."
Acts
13:48 "And when the Gentiles heard this, they
were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed."

from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom
God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
Acts 28:25-28 ". . . Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, 26. Saying, Go unto this people (Israel), and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 27. For the heart of this people (Israel) is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted (repentance unto baptism), and I should heal [restore] them. 28. Be it known therefore unto you, that the (so great) salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it."
