The Day of Pentecost: The Holy Spirit Comes With Power (Acts 2:1–13)
On the Day of Pentecost, a sound like a rushing wind fills the house, tongues like fire rest on each believer, and the Holy Spirit fills them all. Visitors from every nation hear the mighty deeds of God in their own languages. Some ask what it means. Others mock.
Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost: God Has Made Him Both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:14–41)
Three thousand new believers needed more than a moment of decision. Acts 2:42–47 shows what the early church did next: it devoted itself to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. The result was awe, generosity, gladness, and daily growth.
Introduction to the Book of Acts: What Jesus Continued to Do and Teach
Luke’s Gospel recorded all that Jesus began to do and teach. Acts records what He continued to do, reigning from heaven and working through His people by His Spirit. This introduction covers the author, date, structure, and themes of Acts, and the wisdom of Jesus in forming His church.
Jesus Prays for Us: That They May All Be One (John 17:20–26)
Hours before the Cross, Jesus looks beyond the eleven disciples and prays for everyone who will someday believe through their testimony. That includes believers today. His prayer reveals Christ’s desire for His Church: unity, faithful witness, shared glory, deep love, and ultimately eternal fellowship with Him.
