Today -
Saul persecutes the Church
Philip preaches in Samaria
Philip is taken to an Ethiopian and baptizes him
The conversion of Saul/Paul
Ananias encounter with Jesus in a vision
Saul preaches in Damascus, escapes the Jews,
meets with the disciples in Jerusalem;
Peter heals, goes to Lydda/Joppa, meets with
Cornelius and his vision of food
Gentiles hear the good news and receive the
Holy Spirit, Peter reports to the Church in
Jerusalem
Persecution continues - John is killed and Peter
imprisoned but is set free
Herod is struck down not giving God the glory;
But the Church grows with more people.

Background |
Background by Center of Biblical Studies.
The Book of the Acts of the Apostle is Luke volume 2.
The starting point is the Ascension of Jesus, the coming
of the Holy Spirit (which is the founding of the Church),
and Peter and Paul featured in the missionary movement
of the Church. About midway through the book, the case
changes from them to us. It is an adventure in what various
Apostles go through in getting the word out on Jesus. Based
in the Roman Empire of the middle east and west Asia and
Europe. The Church struggles to figure out what they are;
what to do with non-believers; and how to live out the
freedom of God’s grace in Jesus Christ as led by the Holy Spirit.
