Acts
The Book of Acts, written by Luke, serves as the historical sequel to the Gospels, chronicling the birth and initial rapid expansion of the Christian Church. It begins with Jesus’ ascension and the dramatic day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples, empowering them to preach the Gospel. The first half of the book focuses on the ministry of the Apostle Peter in Jerusalem, documenting the growth of the early, Jewish-based Church. The second half shifts to the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul, demonstrating how the Gospel message was carried beyond Israel to the Gentile world. Acts is a powerful record of how the early believers relied on the Holy Spirit to transform the world.
