"But ye shall receive power, ...and ye shall be witnesses unto me" (Acts 1:8). This verse includes both a promise and a command. The Book of Acts records the fulfillment of this promise and tells the story of what happened when 120 Spirit-filled believers focused their energies on carrying out the Great Commission.

The Book of Acts can be misunderstood. Various false concepts can be traced back to misinterpretations of this book. Exploring the Book of Acts promotes a Biblical and proper concept of God's purpose for the church.
