DESCRIPTION:Throughout the fall of 2026 and into winter 2027\, we will be m
 eeting regularly on Wednesday evenings to study the New Testament continua
 tion of the gospels\, the book of Acts.\n \nDescription:\nThe Book of Act
 s\, written by Luke the physician as a sequel to his Gospel\, provides an 
 action-packed historical narrative of the early Christian church’s explo
 sive growth from AD 30 to 62. Centered on the blueprint of Acts 1:8\, the 
 book chronicles how the Holy Spirit empowered ordinary disciples on the Da
 y of Pentecost to take the message of Jesus's resurrection from Jerusalem\
 , through the regions of Judea and Samaria\, and ultimately across the Rom
 an Empire to the ends of the earth. The narrative shifts focus from the ea
 rly leadership of Peter in Israel to the dramatic conversion and subsequen
 t missionary journeys of Paul across the Mediterranean\, demonstrating how
  the church triumphed over intense external persecution\, shipwreck\, and 
 internal theological division. Ultimately\, Acts serves as an indispensabl
 e theological bridge in the New Testament\, connecting the life and minist
 ry of Jesus Christ to the letters later written to the thriving\, diverse 
 congregations planted throughout the ancient world.
