Our
study of the book of Acts proceeds story by story. We take the
time to unpack individual paragraphs and verses that are important to
our
understanding of early Christianity and to our application of spiritual
principles for advancing God’s Kingdom in and through our lives.
This is
a group-learning experience for Christians who hunger for deepening
authenticity in their relationship with Jesus Christ and with His Holy
Spirit. Participants are encouraged to do homework assignments in order
to contribute fruitfully to the classroom discussions.
