A pivotal chapter in the life of the church, Acts 6 is also a great lesson on the importance of organizational change.

As we'll see today, purity plus passion produces power, a lesson from the early church it might be good if we would apply today.

Some generous people--and some genuine phonies in this transition period in the early church.

It may not be obvious at first, but Chapter 4 probably belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of chapters in Acts. It's that important.

The disciples thought they knew what was going to happen. They were wrong, and Acts 3 is the beginning of this totally different path. 

Does the book of Acts give us the blueprint for how we should be doing church, an historical example of how one group did church, or is the answer more subtle?

The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost has as much to do with two prophets from the Hebrew Bible as it does with the feast it happened during. 

One of the markers of the early church had to be confidence. And honestly if 120 people really believe they are going to remake Judaism and then restore the whole world, confidence is a prerequisite.

Beginning a brand new study in the Book of Acts. We get to watch the early church have great successes, make big mistakes, and almost stumble their way to carrying the Good News into Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. 

A great technique to read the Bible for application and transformation instead of just information or inspiration.
