David R. Beck was Professor of New Testament and Greek. He begins his sermon by asking the question “why am I here?” (00:00-07:27). Beck reads from 2 Timothy 2:1-15, and he states that he will walk through the seven imperatives in the passage (07:28-13:55). Beck walks through the seven imperative and delivers them to the audience as life lessons for the Christian, and his answer to the question, “why am I here,” is to serve the Lord diligently and be a faithful witness to him (13:56-36:36).
David R. Beck was Professor of New Testament and Greek. He begins his lecture by speaking about the research he has been doing on his sabbatical and the topic of his lecture, evangelism in Luke-Acts (00:00-15:34). Beck first examines the genre of Luke-Acts as an historical narrative, and he says that both parts are gospel-centered (15:35-20:15). Beck walks through many passages that speak about Jesus’ evangelistic proclamation in Luke and the evangelism of the apostles in Acts, and he concludes that evangelism was an intentional part of life in the early church, and it was powered by the will and sovereignty of God (20:16-50:36).
