Description

Chaos. Conflict. Accusations. Scandal. Violence. Conspiracies. Arrests. Executions. Murder… Yet, out of this turmoil, the Church was born.

In this study, Pastor John MacArthur takes you through the incredible story of the early Christian movement, showing how, despite fierce persecution and opposition, the first believers leaned on God’s Spirit for guidance and authority to spread the gospel to all nations.

The book of Acts records the astonishing growth of the Church and the rapid spread of the gospel following Christ’s ascension. One of the most dramatic and intense books in the Bible, Acts begins with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit—an essential event that empowered the young Church to withstand the fury and prejudice directed at these bold followers of The Way.

Throughout Acts, God’s power is evident, proving that no circumstance is beyond His control—just as remains true today.
