Acts

28 chapters · 1,007 verses · Luke · ~62 AD

120 frightened people in an upper room. Thirty years later, the message has reached Rome. Acts is the story of how a crucified carpenter's movement conquered the greatest empire on earth — without a single sword.

Overview

Acts is the sequel to Luke's Gospel and the origin story of the church. From Pentecost to Paul's imprisonment in Rome, it documents how the Holy Spirit transforms fishermen into world-changers. Persecution scatters believers, but every scattering plants new churches. The pattern: the gospel cannot be stopped.
