After Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, he spends 40 days with his disciples. On the day of his ascension to heaven, he tells his apostles that they will receive power from the Holy Spirit to be witnesses of his life and resurrection to Jerusalem and the ends of the earth. What was their early ministry like and how did God work through them to spread the gospel in their own culture and to the greater Greco-Roman world? What does it mean for us to live as present-day witnesses in the culture God has put us in?

This week we are stepping out of the book of Acts to see that, from the very beginning, God has always called his people to be witnesses of him to the people and culture around them. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
