In Acts, we will see the church stand against opposition and persecution, but Acts gives us a unique view of how the church moved from Jerusalem to the far reaches of the Roman empire. Acts shows us the church on mission. And Acts has no definitive ending. The last verse in the book shows Paul under house arrest in Rome, preaching unhindered to all that came to him. It is meant to be an unfinished story because it is also our story - it is our mission that continues today.

Through the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit will light (or reignite) our fire for evangelism and discipleship and we examine the work of Jesus - by the Holy Spirit - through the Apostles. They were given power to be His witnesses to the far reaches of the earth - and so are we today. Our study through Acts will be an examination of the foundation upon which the church was built and grew - but it will also be an examination of the beginnings of the mission that we are still called to today.
