Overview

In the book of Acts, we see the church unleashed on society to make God’s kingdom known. Thousands came to faith, signs and wonders inspired awe, and the church was radically united together for God’s work. But we also see the tensions of the early church – struggles over belief and holiness, leadership and unity. 2000 years later, how can we learn from Acts to be the church unleashed? These seven studies explore different aspects of the church seen in Acts and applies them for the church today as we work out our mission in the world.

Specially designed for small groups and individuals based on the theme of Spring Harvest 2020, this workbook contains material for seven sessions, all of which help small groups engage with the Scriptures and apply them to daily life. Each study includes Bible passages, key thoughts and comments, questions to reflect upon or discuss, action points and prayer guidance.
