Acts
Average Level — 16 Lessons
We are excited to introduce our new format!
This Rafiki Bible Study has been beautifully redesigned as a spiral-bound edition with durable covers. Now available as individual copies, this new format is perfect for personal study or group use. Each study includes two introductory lessons (The Chief End of Bible Study: Thinking Right Thoughts about God and What is the Bible about?).
The Rafiki Bible Study on Acts covers Pentecost, the early church and mercy ministry, Saul's conversion, and various journeys and opportunities to spread the gospel as well as Christians' persecution and martyrdom. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to be his witnesses to all nations—Jew and Gentile alike—of salvation in Jesus. Each lesson includes notes on the text and questions for discussion written and edited by reformed theologians.
The commentary recommended to accompany this study is Acts by Guy Prentiss Waters, sold separately.
