Matthew

Matthew's purpose is clear: to demonstrate that Jesus is the Jewish nation’s long-awaited Messiah. His voluminous quoting of the Old Testament is specifically designed to show the tie between the Messiah of promise and the Christ of history.

​

Luke

As with the other three Gospels, the title is derived from the author’s name. According to tradition, Luke was a Gentile. Luke dedicated his works to “most excellent Theophilus”, and he clearly stated his purpose "that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught."

Acts

This is the 2nd book attributed to Luke. The Greek title is “Acts”, and many add “of the Apostles.” While Acts does feature the historical figures in the early church, the book could more properly be called “The Acts of the Holy Spirit through the Apostles”. Explore the sovereign and superintending work of the Holy Spirit recorded in the book of Acts.

Mark

Mark, for whom this Gospel is named, was a close companion of the apostle Peter and a recurring historical figure in the book of Acts, where he is known as “John whose other name was Mark”. Justin Martyr, writing about 150 A.D., referred to the Gospel of Mark as “the memoirs of Peter".

John

Whereas Matthew and Luke trace Jesus’ earthly heritage back to Abraham and Adam, respectively, and Mark opens with the beginning of Jesus’ earthly ministry; the gospel of John transports us back to the beginning before Creation. In the beginning was the Word through whom all things came to be.
