Acts - Volume 1 - Biblical commentaries

Principles for discipling, building the Church, and evangelizing the world are taught in the book of Acts.

The book of Acts is the story of the beginning of the Church, then young in years, but mature in faith and destiny. In this verse-by-verse commentary, MacArthur focuses on the powerful lessons learned by the earliest Christians—through the experience of Pentecost, Peter's discourse, and the persecutions they faced—as the world began to be transformed by the Gospel that they proclaim.
