Acts of the Apostles Archives

How Were the Disciples of Jesus Important to the New Testament Church? Philip Nation

Those called apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus and served as shepherds and leaders of the early church. They took on critical roles as they went into the world.

In Acts 6, the newfound church had exploded into existence and discovered their first problem: they had a great deal of money!

Why is Acts an Incomplete History? G. Campbell Morgan

Philip is an example of a believer who trusted in Christ, regardless of the situation.

Repentance before Salvation? Charles Stanley

Does it seem strange that Peter said “repent” instead of “believe”?

Faith or Works? Greg Laurie

The word believe is made up of two words: be and live.

The Apostles: They Weren't So Different? Greg Laurie

What we see in the Book of Acts is normal, New Testament Christianity. It is the standard that God has set.

Just as with the Apostles Peter and John, your relationship with Jesus should be apparent even to your enemies.
