We explore what we know about the name of the book: Acts of the Apostles, its author, and its most important themes. The story of Acts really begins with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Peter’s dramatic sermon; the result is a flame that spreads all across the Roman Empire. After the church is planted in Jerusalem, the believers are spiritually empowered and guided from there into “Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). This, in a nutshell, is the entire theme of Acts.
Additional scriptures referenced include Revelation 21:14; Matthew 10:2; Mark 3:14; Luke 6:13; John 6:71; Acts 6:2; 1 Corinthians 15:5; Ephesians 2:20; Luke 1:1-4; Matthew 28:18-20; and Mark 16:15-18.
