We start by discussing Peter’s “Call to action” at the end of his Pentecost sermon. We then discuss the healing of the man born lame and Peter’s second sermon. In these early chapters of Acts, we get a view of the power and simplicity of the Spirit’s work as the Church is being formed.

On the Day of Pentecost, Peter gives his sermon explaining why the Holy Spirit has been poured out and how salvation is available to all through the name of Jesus.

At the celebration of Pentecost – a celebration of the early harvests – The Holy Spirit is poured out and fills the first disciples. We take a sideline to talk about the Baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit. We also begin to work through Peter’s powerful sermon explaining the amazing things that were taking…

We finish our exploration of 2 Peter 1 by looking that the final 3 virtues: Godliness, Brotherly Affection and Generous, Unselfish Love. If we are people who live these qualities out and they are all growing, we will be useful and fruitful in our deep, personal knowledge of Jesus.

The Eleven Apostles take action to replace the traitor Judas who killed himself. Then, on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is poured out on the first believers and followers of Jesus.

We talk about Jesus’ divine power that has granted to us all that we need for life and godliness. We then talk about the first 4 virtues that we need to add to our faith that has been allotted to us.

We look at the first 14 verses of Acts with the basic instructions Jesus gives to the Apostles that set the Mission for the rest of the narrative.

We complete our study of Romans, looking at chapters 14-16.

In our second session, we discuss what it means to have a deep, personal knowledge of Jesus.

Luke-Acts is intended to be a single work, a continuous narrative about the might works of God in the life of Jesus and the life of the early Church. We do some review and introduction as we deal with the Why? What? and How? of Acts.
