Acts

Introduction

Acts is the second volume of Luke: the risen Jesus sends the Spirit, and the witness moves from Jerusalem to Rome. Peter and then Paul stand at the center, but the hero is the word of God that keeps spreading. The church prays, suffers, and crosses cultures. The book is unfinished on purpose—the mission continues.

This introduction is original UECF.NET companion text. It is not the printed Life Application book introduction.
