Overview

Dynamic churches—congregations that are experiencing phenomenal growth, Christian ministries that God is using to take down walls, churches where souls are being saved and lives transformed—inspire us and make for great reading. The book of Acts, the divinely inspired history of the early church, is all this and more. This encouraging commentary on a marvelous Bible book is sure to challenge all Christian believers who seek to walk with Christ and to serve Him more effectively through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Top Highlights

“Like Jesus, he prayed for his executioners. This was an overflow of grace—God’s unmerited, unconditional favor.” (Page 107)

“Worship and service go together and should never be separated. If we try to work for the Lord without worshiping him, we will settle for legalistic, self-centered service. And if we worship and never work, we will end up with a form of godliness but no power.” (Page 175)

“There can be no burden for distant unreached peoples without a burden for unreached neighbors.” (Page 18)

“The backbone of a healthy Christian life is teaching.” (Page 47)

“The sermon was great because it was Christ-centered.” (Page 38)
