BREAKTHROUGH: A STUDY ON THE BOOK OF ACTS
The book of Acts explores the growth and expansion of the early church following Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. It chronicles the powerful movement of the Holy Spirit—God’s presence at work through the apostles—as they spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the known world.
Although many Bibles title this book Acts of the Apostles, a more fitting name might be Acts of the Holy Spirit or Acts of the Risen Lord Jesus.
Interestingly, while Jesus is not a central tangible figure in Acts, His presence and influence permeate every moment.
As we embark on this journey through the historical account of the early church, consider how the movement of the Spirit is leading you today. How is God calling you to be a witness and follower of the Risen Christ in our world and our time?

You’re in a new organization, work, church, or community. You have studied the demographics and learned about the area’s history. You are excited about the possibilities.
You may move to an area you are less keen on living in. You see a bleak future that seeks to keep things at the status quo. You moved there because you sensed you needed to, so you went where you were sent.
No matter where you are, take time to discern whether the people are trying to survive so their community, organization, etc., don’t die or if they are trying to live. There is a difference between the two. One only wants to maintain by not losing anyone or anything; the other wants to ensure their sustainability for the future and to make an impact in the world.
Whatever situation you’re in, some things should be done beforehand and during your first few months. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some thoughts on working with people who “want to live.”
I’m already reminded of the words of Jesus, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10b NIV) Even if it seems the organization does not want to die, there is incredible hope because of the promise of Christ to give the most whole life possible.
This six week Bible Study takes you through the major themes of the Bible: Creation, Fall, Israel, Jesus, Church, New Creation. In this study you will have the chance to study in different settings as well as have opportunities to seek where God is working, to find out who God says you are, to find ways to be in mission in your community and world. I pray this resource draws you closer to the God who made you, who is with you, and the God who calls you by name and desire you live into your best self.
