New Testament Overviewনমুনা

The book of Acts is a highly authentic historical record of the beginning of the church, written by Luke (likely a gentile doctor and the author of Luke's Gospel).

The most important interpretive key when reading Acts is to remember that the events are a description of what took place at the church's beginning and not necessarily a prescription for what must always take place. The events described are not necessarily intended to be implemented in the indefinite future of the church unless they are prescribed (commanded) elsewhere.

After reading the passage, use these questions as the basis for your discussion.

1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)

2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)

3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)
