Review

Acts is about everything Jesus continued to do through his apostles and the church to make Himself known to the world after he left to go be with the Father.

The twelve disciples were witnesses to Jesus's life, miracles, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.

They were also witnesses to two messengers of God who told them that Jesus will return.

Jesus is with the Father in heaven.

God sent the Holy Spirit to help the apostles and the church be witnesses of Jesus by telling everyone everything that Jesus did, to the ends of the earth.

The Holy Spirit came upon them like fire as they were gathered together, and only the apostles had the ability to see it.

The apostle Peter shared with them the things he saw Jesus do, and told them to turn from sin and to turn back to God.

Peter told them if they turned from sin and turned to God, and were baptized in the name of Jesus, they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Peter told them that this promise is to everyone the Lord calls.

About 3,000 people received Peter's word, were baptized, and were added as members of the body of Christ.

The church met together daily for teaching, fellowship, eating/communion, and prayer.

The Holy Spirit empowered the apostles to perform miracles and signs, so fear of the Lord came upon everyone who saw it.

All the believers were always together, and they used everything they had to advance the Kingdom of God.

They shared everything they had, and gave to anyone who had need.

They had favor with all the people, and the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

Introduction

 

The Holy Spirit allowed the apostles to perform miracles in order to demonstrate God's power in order to turn people to Himself.

Both the Jews and the Gentiles believed that God was only the God of Israel.

God also performed miracles through the apostles to show that He was not only the God of Israel, but that He is the God of all who believe in His Son, Jesus. 

He healed a lame man because the man did not deny Jesus as the Jews did (Acts 3:12-16), showing that God is the God of anyone who believes that Jesus is His Son.
