Acts: The Power That Changes the World, Study Guide with Leader's Notes
The book of Acts traces the birth of the early church from its small, inauspicious beginnings to Paul's arrival in Rome. As Jesus predicted, the kingdom of God started small, but the power of God is still transforming and changing broken people and places. Jesus is still with us, still at work, writing a new history that moves the lives of people in every place to bring heaven to earth until that last great day when he returns.
Through a study of the story of the early church, Acts: The Power that Changes the World will encourage, challenge, and empower readers to live out God's story in their lives and in their world.
