The Book of Acts

The book of Acts describes the final acts of Jesus, the acts of the Holy Spirit, and the acts of the apostles as they built the Christian church after the ascension of Jesus.  This book describes how salvation was brought first to the Jews and then to the non-Jewish followers of Jesus.  This is one of the most important foundational documents of the Christian church.  If you have already read the book of Acts, this collection of blog post is intended to remind you of those events and suggest a potentially new point of view that will expand your understanding.  If you have not yet read the book of Acts, this list of blog posts will give you landmarks to look out for.  I encourage you to turn to the scripture immediately after reading these blog posts and read the book of Acts from beginning to end.  This is one of the most important books of the Bible and I know you will be blessed by your effort to digest and fully comprehend its contents.
