In this study of ACTS, groups will discuss the successes and failures of the New Testament church and will encourage the same power in today's local church. In the chapter by chapter study, Luke, the author of Acts, lays down the pattern for the local church life; a community of joyful believers; empowered by the Spirit; serving the Lord and one another; actively enlarging the fellowship; tasting both persecution and God's protection; and participating in His supernatural work. Includes Leader's Notes. 15 studies for individuals or groups.
