The book of Acts presents a fascinating glimpse into the life of the early church. As we read, we see a group of scattered, scared disciples transformed into apostles who declared the good news of Jesus with great power and authority, fearlessness and courage, and who established the most influential organization in the history of the world, the Christian Church.

As we begin our new series, Acts: Chronicles of the Church, the history written in these pages comes to life. We'll be starting with the first verse and work our way through the book, letting the truth of God's Word feed our hearts and minds.

To augment the series, we are also planning a number of special podcasts in which we'll dig deeper into certain passages and discuss issues and ideas presented. We're also going to begin blogging about the teaching and inviting you to post your own thoughts and comments.

Finally, we encourage your questions. Throughout the series, you'll have the opportunity to submit questions which we'll do our best to answer. As we embark on this journey through the book of Acts, we invite you to join us.

Bring your Bibles to worship and be ready to use them. Make the worship service a priority and open your heart to what God is teaching.
