545 Read the Bible for Yourself 12: How to Read Acts
Manage episode 414627058 series 2405046
This is part 12 of the Read the Bible For Yourself.
Acts is an action-packed book full of excitement and wonder. We learn about the early expansion of the Church from a small group of ragged Christ-followers to dozens of house churches throughout major cities in the Mediterranean world. How did Christianity "go public"? The book of Acts tells that story. In this episode you'll learn four major emphases in Acts as well as how to think through application for us today.
