Rise of the Empire - Acts
As the church of Jesus Christ, who are we? Where do we come from? What is our purpose? How are we to behave? Between now and the coming Christ, what should occupy us? Where should our energy be used up? And what things should we leave on the side, because they are not in our purpose? What guarantee do we have that we will accomplish this mission? To answer all these questions, and whole lot more, our attention turns to the Book of Acts.
