Acts of the Holy Spirit

Acts is a book of action. It has it all! A multitude speaks in languages they never learned! A cripple runs through the temple! A lying couple drops dead! An angry mob stones a man glowing like an angel. A sorcerer surrenders to a greater power. A man sees a vision that changes his life. An angel visits an unsaved military man. An apostle loses his head. A king is struck dead. All of this in only the first half of the book! You will not be bored studying Acts. Action packs every page. It is a book about people. Witness Peter being changed from a mouse to a lion. Look up at life through the hopeless eyes of a 40-year-old crippled beggar. Feel the jealousy of Ananias and Sapphira. Meet Stephen, a layman with more insights than the apostles. Travel with Philip to the city of those he despised. Discover what happened to Saul when God knocked him off of his high horse. Visit the smelly home of Simon the Tanner. Look into the eyes of a demon-possessed slave girl. Acts tells about all of these, and 70 other characters. It focuses on people: their struggles and successes. Acts is a book about Church growth. It begins with a Church so small it could fit in one upper room. It ends with a Church that spread to the center of the Roman Empire! It begins with a local Jewish church of one language and culture. It ends with an international Church of many languages and cultures. In Acts you will discover keys to guidance, solving problems, and expanding your worldview. Above all, Acts is a book about the Holy Spirit. What Jesus began, He continues through the Spirit. The Spirit enables apostles and common Christians to do supernatural ministry. He seeks to fill every believer with power to witness for Jesus. Acts will help you get in step with God's will for your life.
