Acts-1

The opening chapters of Acts reveal the principles that shaped the life and ministry of the early church. Jesus first did and then taught, establishing the pattern for New Covenant ministry. His disciples were called not merely to possess knowledge but to receive the power of the Holy Spirit, bear witness to Christ’s resurrection, live in unity, remain faithful to their God-given calling, and follow the Spirit’s leading rather than depend upon fixed rules or human reasoning. Through Peter, Stephen, Philip, Ananias, and Saul, we see that God works through believers who are continually filled with His Spirit, sensitive to His voice, willing to obey Him step by step, and concerned above all with knowing Christ and doing His will.
