Sometimes we feel powerless and purposeless. Not so for the people of the early Christian church. Jesus transformed their lives, the Holy Spirit empowered them--and they changed the world! Acts is the extraordinary record of what they did.As we move through these studies on the book of Acts, we see transforming power in action. And we learn what God can do with us to change our own world.
