Preview on Acts of Apostles (May 5)

We’ve Chronologically covered the
Old Testament, phase by phase:
OT1: Five Books of Laws incl Job.
OT2: Israel History to King David
OT3: United & Divided Kingdoms
OT4: Return from the Exile
We had also meditated on the
synoptic gospels & John gospel.

We now continue with Book of Acts.
Beginning with a frightened band
of disciples in an upper room,
Acts traces the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem
following the ascension of Christ
and the subsequent spread and
growth of Christianity throughout
the Roman Empire. Written by
Luke, Acts records the fulfilment
of Jesus’ Great Commission
as Spirit-transformed disciples
carry the gospel to Jerusalem…
Judea and Samaria and into the
uttermost part of the earth (A1:8).

We will cover Acts of the Apostles
over 2 weekends under 4 divisions:
a) Growth of the Jewish Church
in Jerusalem (Acts 1-7)
b) Expansion of the Church
in Judea & Samaria (Acts 8-12)
c) Paul’s 3 missionary journeys
to Uttermost Part (Acts 13-20)
d) Arrest, Trials & Imprisonment
of Paul the Apostle (Acts 21-28)

Look Out for exposition on Acts
for better understanding on the
work of the Holy Spirit, be more
effective witnesses of Jesus Christ
and increase our faith in God.
