BOOK OF ACTS: led by Bonnie Smeal in the Parlor
The Through the Bible Class is starting a study of the Book of Acts this fall. Did you ever wonder how the Christian faith grew from a disorganized group of eleven grief stricken disciples mourning the death of their Lord to one of the three major Abrahamic religions? the Book of Acts describes how the transformation began! How did an ashamed Peter who denied knowing jesus three times become a leader of the early church? What turned the quiet, introspective John into the gospel writer whose words have led millions of people to become followers of Christ? And where did Paul come from??? He wasn't even one of the original disciples at all! All of these answers and many more are contained in "The Acts of Apostles". Join us as we unpack and discuss the beginnings of the Christian Church.
