{"product_id":"welcome-holy-spirit-understanding-the-book-of-acts","title":"Welcome Holy Spirit: Understanding the Book of Acts","description":"After His resurrection, Jesus Christ gave the eleven surviving Galilean apostles the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Stated simply, the Commission is to go into all the world and make disciples of Christ from all nations.\n\nMoments before His Ascension to heaven, Jesus privately gave a second command: wait in Jerusalem for the 'promise of the Father.' What was it? The baptism and fulness of the Holy Spirit. Why? To embolden and empower the apostles to be global prophetic witnesses. This power would enable them to fulfil the Commission. Then He was taken up into heaven.\n\nTen days later and faithful to His Word, Christ sent the Holy Spirit to Earth. What happened next was the miraculous birth and growth of the Christian Church. When you consider the immense human limitations of the apostles of Christ - no large bank accounts, no higher education degrees, no career professionals, no military muscle, no connections with high and mighty people, - the narrative you are about to read has all the hallmarks of divine intervention. The Book of Acts wonderfully chronicles this amazing story of how a small group of Galilean fishermen, and a room full of one hundred and twenty disciples, were used by God to start history's greatest single mass movement.\n\nIn Welcome Holy Spirit: Understanding the Book of Acts, you will learn about:\n\n1. The powerful birth of the Church in Chapter 2;\n2. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost;\n3. The miraculous growth of the Church;\n4. The ministry and martyrdom of Stephen;\n5. How salvation and the Holy Spirit baptism came to the Samaritans and Gentiles;\n6. Repentance and salvation coming to Saul of Tarsus.\n7. Details of the world-changing ministry of Saul of Tarsus, also known as the Apostle Paul.\n8. Insights on Spirit-filled living for today.\n\nWelcome Holy Spirit tells the story, in everyday language, about the Spirit-birthed Church with an eye for practical application.\n\nThe Book of Acts will change your life. And this book can help.\n\nTABLE OF CONTENTS\n\nPart One: Introduction\nPreface\nIntroduction: The Holy Spirit\nIntroduction: The Book of Acts\nPart Two: Holy Spirit Power in Jerusalem\nChapter One: Waiting for the Holy Spirit\nChapter Two: Pentecost - Birthday of the Church\nChapter Three: Great Healing - Great Sermon\nChapter Four: Facing Opposition\nChapter Five: Judgment Within, Trouble Without\nChapter Six: Stephen, Service and Strife\nChapter Seven: Stephen's Anointed Speech\nPart Three: Holy Spirit Power in Judaea and Samaria\nChapter Eight: Time of Transition\nChapter Nine: Saul of Tarsus Repents\nChapter Ten: Gentile Pentecost\nChapter Eleven: Revival at Antioch\nChapter Twelve: Growing Persecution, Growing Church\nPart Four: Holy Spirit Power to the Ends of the Earth\nChapter Thirteen: From Saul to Paul\nChapter Fourteen: Triumph and Trouble\nChapter Fifteen: The Council of Jerusalem\nChapter Sixteen: The Gate of Europe\nChapter Seventeen: The Road to Athens\nChapter Eighteen: Revival in Corinth\nChapter Nineteen: Ephesus at Last\nChapter Twenty: The Long Farewell\nChapter Twenty-One: Appointment in Jerusalem\nChapter Twenty-Two: Paul's Defense in Jerusalem\nChapter Twenty-Three: From Jerusalem to Caesarea\nChapter Twenty-Four: Paul's Defense Before Felix\nChapter Twenty-Five: 'I Appeal to Caesar'\nChapter Twenty-Six: Paul With King Agrippa II\nChapter Twenty-Seven: The Stormy Voyage to Rome\nChapter Twenty-Eight: Paul in Malta and Rome\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0645280135\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0645280135.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Majdali, Kameel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
