This study was conducted between May and November of 2016. We just walked through the book, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, all in an effort to better understand the context of the church in the first century, and better know where our roots as Christians are situated in history.

Study conducted on November 9, 2016. We started with a walk-through review of the entire book, then covered Paul’s voyage to Rome, Shipwreck on Malta and interaction with the Jews in Rome. This was the last lesson in Acts!
