This week we dive into the book of Acts, the epic narrative describing the start of the Church. It was written by Luke, a traveling companion of Paul and disciple of Jesus. As you might expect, this is not a standalone work but an extension of Luke’s Gospel.

Luke-Acts reads as one unified work, and both parts focus on the work of Jesus. This story looks at where Jesus picked up his work after going to the cross at the end of Luke. The risen Jesus, through the Spirit, is working in and through the lives of those who choose to follow him to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth. We share more about the global spread of the Gospel in this week’s blog post.
