I do wish I had teachers like this in church when I was a kid. I'm bewildered ad to why I have never received teachings such as this in all my 63 years. Justin you are truly a blessing brother. I look forward to more of your lessons.
I agree! Where were the mid-Acts dispensationalists in my early years of salvation?!! It sure would’ve helped immensely with right division and answered so many questions about seemingly contradictory and/or confusing Bible verses! Inductive Bible Study is what really helped me rightly divide the word of truth by answering the who, what, when, where, how (does it apply to me) applied to Scripture passages as I studied. I only found Grace Ambassadors about two years ago, and wow, there it was! All of it made perfect sense and aligned right with my IBS studies of the Bible. God wasn’t always talking TO me after all!
@@GayleHallAZ So Jesus preach a imminent return for nothing ? Having them scared , give up everything, sell all they have ; for what ? He never return ...
Was a failed prediction ? And Jesus was clear is a near at the door not some 2,000 years on the future ?
Why they go through tribulation in the future ? In order to resurrect them . Doesn't make sense
@@Moodboard39 Israel fell and after the rapture of the Church, the Body of Christ, their program will continue on as prophesied and they will come into their land and the millennial reign will take place. He will do everything He said He will do. Makes perfect sense.
Imagine me,brother...finally I got the understanding of the Mystery given to Paul for us in 2012,after 40 years of Pentecostalism....I am 74 now...thank You Lord and thanks to this ministry of Grace Ambassadors 🙏🏻 🙌 ❤
@roga49 in my search for the right church, I visited a pentecostal church for a while and my spirit felt very uncomfortable there. I remember the pastor spent weeks in Acts 2. They had classes and videos on how to get supercharged with the Holy Spirit.
I found dispensationalism 6 years ago and have grown exponentially since then. I am now 72.
I have listened to this 3 times through and I think this was the best teaching on Acts I have ever heard. Crystal clear. Great Job Pastor Justin, I sure wish your church was closer! Cannot find any church that even comes close to the quality of yours in my area. Thanking God for utilizing you to get the Truth out. 🙏🏻😊
Where are you located Stephanie?
My eyes were opened to mid Acts Dispensationalism by my dad and uncle sending me sermons over and over and over. I’m so glad I see it.
Have you ever even read the Bible?
@@tennesseereformassociation8586 I have! :) Twice, cover to cover, actually..... several specific books within countless times.
@@tennesseereformassociation8586 glad you were able to explore Dispensational theology, Matthew! Pretty soon you won’t even have to sprinkle your babies anymore for their salvation. 🤧
@@tennesseereformassociation8586 Why are even here posting? I can only think this is your aggressive form religious missionary work. Rather than reach the lost for Christ, you guys go into non-Calvinist churches with a twisted predestination doctrine (pulled from just 2 Bible passages) to promote the belief in a cruel and 100% deterministic God. Don't you guys realize in confessing man has no free-will, you make God the doer of all things (including all evil) and Satan then becomes redundant? Don't you realize if God chooses all those who are to be saved, he also conversely then chooses those rejected not to be given something you guys call "previnient grace" which is not even found in the Bible?
@@kwpctek9190 why Jesus preached a imminent return for nothing ? If he wasn't going to return ?
Another outstanding chart lesson from Justin.
Justin has the distinct ability to make it so clear to understand about the fall of Isreal throughout Acts.
It is very sad to understand that Isreal rejected their Messiah time and time again dispite clear evidance through the signs and wonders done by the 12 and Paul.
Even today Isreal as a nation reject Christ their Messiah.
But its also amazing to understand that by their fall salvation now has come to us gentiles without Isreal, covenants and promises but by grace alone.
Thankyou GA for every week posting these messages!
Justin explains everything crystal clear
Another masterpiece of preaching by Justin Johnson
I am so grateful for this ministry. This was AWESOME. Overviews like this really help me. THANK YOU
Super clear teaching on the book of Act's. Thanks so much Justin.
Yay! Perfect timing. I am going through the Book of Acts and visual aid helps me so much. Thank you Pastor! ❤️🙏😇✝️
Great message. Thank you. So many tidbits of Info. Thank you Lord for telling us to rightly divide your word.
Thank you Justin
This sermon is brilliant, but I also recommend listening to Pastor Johnson's verse by verse series on Acts. Very thankful that someone as smart as Pastor Johnson got saved and has this ministry because most of us don't have good reading skills and don't catch the significance of every single word. Most of us were hoodwinked by our denominational pastors who are just motivational speakers and either aren't very smart or are really Satan's ministers of righteousness. King James Bible is a very precise book, and every word is significant.
I agree
Very thankful for y'alls ministry. ❤️🙏
Excellent, thank you Justin
I have really been enjoying your teachings! Truly edifying!
That was more than helpful!! Such an amazing blessing to understand the Scriptures rightly divided!
Thank you Justin!
Thank you - I have friends that think the grace period started at the end of Acts. This was helpful.
Wonderful to be able to tie together even more info about the difference between the two gospels. Great teaching Justin. Thanks.
Salute you sir! We are praying 🙏for you.
Absolutely helpful, thank you ....wow...ignorance of the word of truth rightly divided is such a serious problem for us all...thanks be to God for this ministry and the clarity of this lesson.
Thanks brother Justin 🙏🏻 💙 ❤
Thank u so much for the exposition
Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Hallelujah
Most interpret “fulfill” as its it’s done. Few translate it as he was the measure the law required. He was the perfect lamb. That he met, he fulfilled
Awesome
Excellent teaching. Justin, those under the Kingdom Program in Acts who received the Holy Spirt, was that a permanent indwelling like it is for us under Grace?? I’m confused by that. Thank you.
Yes, if they believed, they were “ in Christ “. Just not a member of the church the body of Christ
No. They were never sealed like we are in the body of Christ.
@@BrownBrown270 Jesus didn't return in their life time ? After he scared them , gave up their homes , lives for nothing ? Was a failed prophecy ?
How would go they go through the tribulation? If they dead 2,000 years old..resurrect them so they can go through the tribulation in the future ? That doesn't make sense
Have a blessed day. From Goa,India.💋💗💋
Justin,
You need to get some passionate “Ameners” in your fellowship of believers! 🙏🏼📖🎚
I wanted to ask something. If the church is a mystery according to Paul, why is Jesus talking about His bride and the church before Paul? I am confused. The gospel of Paul if it is a mystery must NEVER be mentioned before him. But sometimes before Paul I think there are some hidden messages for the church. Can someone explain? Thank you.
Such a great Q! First, we are not his bride, we are his body! It would be weird to marry your own body! Two, Church is a very generic term. There is also the church in the wilderness 1400yrs before Jesus! The mystery is the body of Christ, the group of people of today since Paul who are saved by the finish work of Christ on the Cross(grace) without any works of the law! Christ's body will be taken out of the world when the time for God's wrath is to be poured out upon man, another part of the mystery! After that, God's prophetic message which has been spoken about in the bible and promised since Leviticus 26, will pick right back up! Thanks for asking!
Why is Jesus preaching doomsday in their lifetime and didn't happend ? Could've he been clear ? That his not in their lifetime but future . And if is future , how they going to go through the tribulation?. They would have to be resurrected, it doesn't make sense ...
So that means Joseph , Mary the 12 , Chaiphas , the Romans would see that ? It doesn't make sense
Great teaching Justin! I have a question: Is there another transition period coming after the rapture and before the tribulation?
My thoughts: No, there will not be a transition period after the the rapture b/c the rapture is an event that happens in an instant, not a progression, like in Acts. The day after the catching up, will start them back to the kingdom gospel, immediately.
Matt 24:14 KJV And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
@@dkgrace6743 D&K Grace, thanks so much for your thoughts on my question. I often read your comments online. God Bless.
@Lisa Sovik Thanks. It is a little subjective but we know when we the body of Christ are gone, the gospel of the grace of God is gone also. It is so sad people are so reluctant to the gospel and especially rightly dividing the word. Thanks for your comment. Have a blessed week.
@@lisasovik572 that's doesn't make sense
@@dkgrace6743 Jesus preach a imminent return and nothing happend. So they gave up their lives , sell everything , jailed for nothing .
Why would Jesus predicted doomsday if it wasn't going to happend ? In what sense that they would resurrect in the future so they go through the tribulation ? Doesn't make sense
I agree with you and your teaching .
I have a question in your message about
" go to all nations and start in Jerusalem "
" start in Jerusalem "
all of Israel has to be on board for the kingdom to come to pass .
So my question is ;
The 12 were to have started in Jerusalem and minister to the Jews only and not to gentiles in order for the kingdom to come and then go to the gentiles ???
Yes, they were to go to the Jews only in the other nations. Jesus never change His mission for the 12 to go to the Jews only. Matt 10:5-6. The 12 were never sent to the Gentiles.
Matt 24:14 KJV And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Notice "a witness" to all nations.
@@dkgrace6743 read he verse after that ..it was a imminent return. But didn't happend. A failed prophecy? Why give all signs of doomsday if he wasn't going to return to begin with ?. Does that make any logical sense
@D & K Grace read he verse after that ..it was a imminent return. But didn't happend. A failed prophecy? Why give all signs of doomsday if he wasn't going to return to begin with ?. Does that make
@@Moodboard39 No failed prophecy. There were events that first had to happen for the end to come. They have not happened yet and the fact that the gospel of the kingdom was postponed when Paul came on the scene put the tribulation even further out, time wise.
Very good - the Bible (KJV) is all FOR all of us, but not all TO all of us.. Acts 13:39, "And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Only by Him, the man Jesus; the Christians are justified from all things, which cannot be done by the law of Moses. Yet 95% of Christian churches, seminaries, preachers miss this all over the globe..
READ THE verse after that ..it was a imminent return. But didn't happend. A failed prophecy? Why give all signs of doomsday if he wasn't going to return to begin with ?. Does that make
Where does Romans say anything about the gospel of the Kingdom?
It says the gospel of God and the gospel of Christ.
If you refer to 17:50 His question is rhetorical. It's for those (eg: the RCC) that still preaching Peter and Paul taught the same thing by the time the reader gets finished with Acts and starts reading Romans. He covers a big change.. (continue listening)

did paul preach to jews the gospel of kingdom or gospel of grace in acts ???? i remember that paul preached gospel to jews and gentiles same time but only gentiles accepted in acts. did paul preach gospel of kingdom to jews and gospel of grace to gentiles at the same time??? please explain to me
Paul only preached the gospel of the grace of God
We always interpret what Paul did and said in the book of Acts in light of Paul's epistles. Not the other way around. Paul preached the "Gospel of God" and the Gospel of the grace of God.
Both Peter and Paul preached the Gospel of God, which was that Jesus Christ died was buried and rose from the dead. This was not the mystery or a secret. It was prophesied.
Rom 1:1 KJV Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 KJV (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
The gospel of God did not include the gospel of the grace of God, but the gospel of the grace of God did include the gospel of God. Make sense?
I believe Paul preached the gospel of God to the unbelieving Jews only b/c if they didn't believe that Jesus was the Christ and in His DBR, they were not going to believe the gospel of the grace of God either.

Paul received revelation on the Damascus encounter that he should be the one to take the gospel to the Gentiles but he also said he received an abundance of revelations during his ministry. Some of these he states he was not even permitted to speak of (quite possibly when they stoned him just outside Lystra). Whatever the case, Paul did preach the Kingdom Gospel for a while, but at some point the Holy Spirit revealed to him that the Gentiles should not cleave to the Mosaic laws of circumcision, washings and Baptism's etc.. and this was the subject of Acts 15 where in AD 50 they met in Jerusalem to understand the ways of the dispensation granted to Paul would continue.
*Acts is a book of Transition* this is a critical point to keep in mind when reading it. God sets His prophetic plan for Israel aside until the times of the Gentiles would come to an end. Until the Rapture, we are all one in Christ.
I love Galatians 2:7. I believe the KJV got it right. Gospel of the uncircumcised - grace. Gospel of the circumcision - recognize your Messiah, repent, and be baptized.
Galatians 2:7 (KJV) But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Acts chapter 5 seems to disqualify Jesus from the Messiahship of Israel. His movement ended in 135 ce as predicted by Rabban Gamaliel demonstrating him to be a false Messiah. Reputable sources confirmed the official end of the Netzarim led by James so difficult to refute. This proves he isn't the Messiah.
We are under the new covenant of Christ as he promised. ,but we are not under the mosaic law because it's a different priesthood. We do have salvation in Christ. jesus said that if we believe on him that we will be saved.
@@CliveChamberlain946 we Gentiles were a mystery hid in God not revealed until God revealed it to Paul. We are not under any covenant at all. The Lord never made any covenants to Gentiles.
@@dannysaint1740 That is what he said..
@@CliveChamberlain946 yes I know what you are saying but jesus told them a lot time his kingdom was with in us. he told the pharisees he would take the kingdom from them and give it to a different people.
I know we think sometimes the we are not of the kingdom but jesus brought salvation to us through the cross. if there are any natural jew they have to saved the same way. if you read Act 15 you will see one got up after much debate. The Jews didn't want the gentiles being part of the new covenant.
@@CliveChamberlain946 People usally mistake me for a sister, but it's ok. You see the new covenant that he made was for everyone who believes. The ambassadors don't believe we are in the new covenant, but we can still be saved.😉
@@shellyblanchard5788 The scripture clearly says God made a new covenant with the house of Isreal and the house of Judah.
Gentiles were never under the old covenant so are not even under a new covenant.
We are a new creation...Jew and Gentiles together..saved by grace alone.
The scripture never says that God has made a new covenant with gentiles....I cannot find it if God has!
How can people so called teach scripture, when they do not teach how in Genesis 1:2 there is creation before the creation story 🤨
