Download or read book The Acts of the Apostles written by Ellen G White and published by . This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Acts of the Apostles," author Ellen G. White tells the amazing story of the early Christian church. Starting at Pentecost, this gripping volume takes readers through thrilling stories of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, fierce persecutions, and unswerving loyalty to God. After the ascension, Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Barnabas, Stephen, Mark, and other early apostles carried the wonderful news of the gospel to all of the then-known world. Though met with violent opposition, they were unwilling to surrender their faith. Many did, however, give up their lives. In this remarkable commentary on the book of Acts, you will read a true and tender account of the deep love the apostles had for one another as well as their Savior and friend Jesus Christ. You will also witness the enormous power of the early Christian church when filled with the Holy Spirit. One of the last books written by Ellen G. White, "The Acts of the Apostles" is also one of the most illuminating to come from her prolific pen. Though written more than a hundred years ago, its message remains up to date. There is light for Christian witnessing in this classic book. There is also hope, together with the promise that the work of the gospel won't close with a lesser display of the Holy Spirit's power than marked its beginning.

Download or read book Jesus the Apostles and the Early Church written by Pope Benedict XVI and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Pope Benedict XVI's weekly teaching on the relationship between Christ and the Church, this book tells the drama of Jesus' first disciples - his Apostles and their associates - and how they spread Jesus' message throughout the ancient world. Far from distorting the truth about Jesus of Nazareth, insists Pope Benedict, the early disciples remained faithful to it, even at the cost of their lives. Beginning with the Twelve as the foundation of Jesus' re-establishment of the Holy People of God, Pope Benedict examines the story of the early followers of Christ. He draws on Scripture and early tradition to consider such important figures as Peter, Andrew, James and John, and even Judas Iscariot. Benedict moves beyond the original Twelve to discuss Paul of Tarsus, the persecutor of Christianity who became one of Jesus' greatest disciples. Also considered are Stephen, the first Christian martyr, Barnabas, Timothy, Titus, the wife and husband "team" of Priscilla and Aquila, and such key women figures as Mary, the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Phoebe. Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church is a fascinating journey back to the origins of Christianity. It reveals how Jesus' earliest disciples faithfully conveyed the truth about the "Jesus of history" and how they laid the foundations for the Church, through whom people today can know the same Jesus.

Download or read book Forgotten God written by Francis Chan and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church's power—the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book The Theology of the Acts of the Apostles written by Jacob Jervell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-05-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the people of God? Luke's purposes in the Acts of the Apostles are to identify the church, to establish the legitimacy of its gospel and to demonstrate that God was an active force in history. He wanted to show that the communities of Jewish and Gentile Christians are the true heirs of God's promises to Israel. He gives the history of the early church from the last decades of the first century as the communities become separated from their Jewish origins, and Paul plays the lead role. Acts offers an apologetic for the mixed mission of the church: to Jews and Gentiles. Luke was an eyewitness to some of what he reports, but his authorship and views have been questioned. This is a theological interpretation of the history of the church within history: Luke is an artist, a narrator rather than a systematic theologian, but writes about the roles of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, and of the church.
