Sunday, June 8th

If you missed last weeks opening study on Acts, no worries. Andrew set us up for the study with some great insight on the book and overall concepts...here is a quick review.

1. Luke wrote the book and it is thought to be Vol. 2 to his 1st book, the gospel of Luke.
2. Luke was a doctor (whatever that means in those days) and wrote the book to show that christianity and the church were not a departure, but a continuation of God's purpose in the Old Testament.
3. The main things that happened in chapter 1 and 2 were that Jesus ascended to heaven and promised to send in his place the Holy Spirit. The disciples were all together in the upper room of the temple when the holy spirit came and they received the power of the spirit.
4. The disciples began to form the first "church" and also began spreading the gospel with the overall theme that anyone can be saved.

These are very general points but you can read ch. 1 and 2 yourself if you want more details!

So for this sunday on the 8th we are reading Acts 3:1-5:42.

You don't want to miss this study. We are flying through it, but there is so much wisdom and guidance for christians in this book!
