The Birth of the Christian ChurchSample

Luke began the gospel bearing his name, saying he would record "all that Jesus began to do and teach." Luke wrote that the book of Acts is the story of what Jesus continued "to do and teach" after his ascension. The book of Acts continues to reveal the miracles and teaching caused by the Holy Spirit. John Stott defines the Holy Spirit as the continued earthly ministry of Jesus through the believers of Christ. In closing the study of Acts, it is beneficial to look back at the ministry of Jesus through the lives of his disciples.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
