A tremendous resource for those wanting to study and teach the Bible with an understanding of how the gospel is woven throughout Scripture. --Bryan Chapell Pastor Grace Presbyterian Church The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) Gospel Glimpses highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) Whole-Bible Connections show how any given passage connects to the Bible s overarching story of redemption culminating in Christ; and (4) Theological Soundings identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God s grace on every page of the Bible. The book of Acts chronicles some of the most important events in Christian history: the coming of the Holy Spirit the birth of the early church the scattering of Jesus s disciples across the known world and more. This guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion--helping us understand the history-shaping events that took place in the years following Christ s resurrection and ascension.
