"The book of Acts is called that because it is the 'acts' or works of the apostles, but essentially it is the 'acts' of the risen and ascended Lord Jesus from heaven." Tim Baldwin kicks off our term with a bit of an Acts recap, and a dive into Acts 13.
From Series: "To the Ends of the Earth"
Together with the Gospel of Luke, Acts is part two of a two-volume set. In Acts 1:1, the author, Luke, reminds us that his first book recorded all that Jesus began to do and teach during His earthly life. The focus of volume two (Acts) is on the next stage of God's purposes through Jesus. After His ascension into Heaven, Jesus poured out His Spirit onto the Apostles, empowering them to boldly declare the saving gospel message, which was to be taken to the ends of the earth.
