The Birth of the Christian Church

DAY 20 OF 20

Luke began the gospel bearing his name, saying he would record "all that Jesus began to do and teach." Luke wrote that the book of Acts is the story of what Jesus continued "to do and teach" after his ascension. The book of Acts continues to reveal the miracles and teaching caused by the Holy Spirit. John Stott defines the Holy Spirit as the continued earthly ministry of Jesus through the believers of Christ. In closing the study of Acts, it is beneficial to look back at the ministry of Jesus through the lives of his disciples.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

About this Plan

The Birth of the Christian Church

The book of Acts reveals the power of God at work through the Apostles and other individuals who would turn the world upside down with the Christian movement. This study will help you understand the importance of the Holy Spirit at work in your life and recognize that God’s children can do the extraordinary work of Jesus Christ when yielded to his will and power.
