Survey of the book of Acts

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations

and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

The Book of Acts.

This was written by Luke, and you will see that this is often referred to as the

Acts of the Apostles.

This book starts at the ascension of Jesus Christ, and in Acts 1 .8, Jesus says,.

And this really is an outline for this

book.

They're going to start in Jerusalem, and the apostles are going to move from Jerusalem to Judea, to Samaria, to

the ends of the earth.

Now, this really is focusing primarily on two apostles.

The first, say, half of the book, the first about 10 to 14 chapters, is going to focus on

Peter.

You're going to see the life and ministry of Peter in those early years, but

then after chapter 14 to the end, you're going to see it focus on the apostle Paul.

So really, we would be saying that this is more than not just the Acts of the Apostles, but the Acts

of the Holy Spirit, because it is the Holy Spirit who is working through.

All this.

This is a transitionary time between an Old Testament mindset to the New Testament mindset, and there's much that this

is going to teach for the church.

So what we see here is the Acts are going to be Acts that the apostles did by the power of the

Holy Spirit as they went throughout the world with the gospel.
