The Acts of the Apostles presents the amazing story of
the early Christian church through the rest of New Testament times. After Jesus
was victorious over Satan and returned to heaven, the enemy turned his
attention to Jesus’ church on earth.
Here are thrilling stories of fierce persecutions and
unswerving loyalty to God. Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Barnabas, Stephen,
Mark, and the other early apostles carried the wonderful news of the gospel to
all of the then-known world. Unwilling to surrender their faith, many gave
their lives. The Acts of the Apostles is not so much "The Acts
of the Apostles" as it is "The Acts of the Holy Spirit."
The Acts of the Apostles and the biblical book of Acts,
the remnant people of God find their spiritual roots. To understand what God
expects of His church today, believers should study these two books. Here can
be found the spiritual model for the modern church. Under the power of God's
Spirit, the church of God today is called to service for the purpose of completing
the work begun by the apostles twenty centuries ago.
The study guide for The Acts of the Apostles is
designed for use in several ways, depending upon the interests of the user.

Spirit or of the growth of the Christian church. Others focus on the lives and
ministries of Paul, Peter, or John, or the books that came from the pens of
these apostles.
