Acts Chapters 1-2

In this episode, we begin the book of Acts by reading chapters 1 and 2, where the early church is set into motion. Jesus gives His final instructions to His disciples and ascends into heaven, promising that they will receive power through the Holy Spirit. In chapter 2, that promise is fulfilled at Pentecost as the Holy Spirit comes upon the believers, empowering them to boldly proclaim the message of Jesus. Peter’s sermon leads to thousands coming to faith, and the early church begins to grow in unity, devotion, and purpose. Acts 1–2 reminds us that the mission of Jesus continues through His followers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and that God’s work moves forward when His people step out in faith and obedience.
