Acts : The Birth Of The Church

Luke was a first-century physician, but at some point he left his career and began documenting the rise and spread of the gospel across the known world. Such a decision could not have been easy for him to make, for we know that as a traveling companion of the apostle Paul, he endured great personal hardships and suffering for the sake of Christ. Luke’s work serves as a bridge from the life of Christ to the birth of the first church, revealing both the successes and inevitable the growing pains as the movement spread from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, and to the rest of the world.
