In this teaching from Acts 13:24–35, Pastor Harley Doneburg takes us into Paul’s powerful sermon in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia. As Paul stands before both Jews and Gentile God-fearers, he walks them through the story of Israel—from the calling of Abraham to the rise of David—showing how every step of their history points directly to Jesus Christ, the promised Savior.

Through this passage, we see Paul proclaim the heart of the gospel: that Jesus was rejected, crucified, buried, and raised from the dead in fulfillment of the Scriptures. Paul makes it clear that forgiveness of sins and justification—something the law of Moses could never accomplish—comes only through faith in Christ.

Pastor Harley highlights how Paul’s message confronts every listener with a choice. Some heard with open hearts, while others resisted the truth. The same is true today. God extends salvation freely, but each person must decide whether to believe, respond, and continue in His grace.

This message calls us to look honestly at our own lives, to recognize our need for forgiveness, and to trust fully in the finished work of Jesus. It also reminds us that the Old Testament story is not separate from the gospel—it was always pointing to Christ.
