The Ascension, Pentecost, and Early Church Miracles in Acts
Get your copy of Immerse Luke & Acts or the complete Immerse Bible set at https://www.tyndale.com/ In this episode covering Day Eleven, Week Three of Immerse Luke and Acts, we explore key moments from the early chapters of the Book of Acts. We begin with Jesus' final instructions to his apostles before his ascension. The story then moves to the pivotal event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit fills the believers, enabling them to speak in various languages. Peter's powerful sermon follows, leading to mass conversions. Witness the early church's acts of sharing and fellowship, Peter healing a lame man in Jesus' name, and Peter and John confronting opposition from religious leaders, resulting in their imprisonment. Discover the beginnings of a movement that rapidly grows despite challenges.
