The Book of Acts
I am a Sunday school teacher and have studied through the book of Acts with the people in my class. It took over two years for us to slowly go through the book, but it was simply a wonderful time together. I didn’t realize it when I first began teaching from this book, but I was about to fall in love with Acts. I have been studying it for awhile now and did this series of blogs on it at the end of 2009 and into January of 2010. I am still adding to this study, because I plan to go through it a second time for an evening Bible Study every Wednesday at my church, beginning in January 2012. I am really looking forward to it. I don’t mean to imply that these studies represent a true commentary or exhaustive study on Acts, but they may be helpful to someone interested in studying Acts privately or in a group at their own church. If you care to browse be my guest. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed studying and writing what is listed here.
