Description
God guides our witness and our walk...
Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the book of Acts in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to Christians today.
In the book of Acts, we have a record of the most fertile period of outreach in the history of Christianity. Churches were planted near and far as Jesus' followers proclaimed the message of Christ. Luke's record in Acts reveals that God places a premium on the spread of the gospel. He blesses our efforts to make disciples of all nations, one person at a time, and sends us His Spirit to guide our words, give us wisdom, and bolster our courage.
We also learn that God is with us even during times of persecution and opposition--and He uses those times to sharpen us and make us effective instruments for His work.
Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organized to include:
Getting Started: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson.
Setting the Stage: A short reflection to explain the context of the study.
Exploring the Text: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions.
Reviewing the Story: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading.
Applying the Message: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to their lives.
Reflecting on the Meaning: A closing reflection on the key teachings in the lesson.
