In Acts 13:16–41, Paul delivers his first recorded sermon, proclaiming the Kerygma—the essential message of the gospel. This sermon traces God’s sovereign plan through Israel’s history, the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus, His resurrection, and the invitation for all to receive forgiveness through faith. Paul shows that salvation doesn’t come through the law but through Christ alone. The passage calls for a personal response: to surrender to Jesus and share His message with others.
