Episode notes

The Book of Acts is a series of little vignettes about the church growing. Peter's walking around doing good, acting out what the Savior had taught in the gospels. The ultimate miracle that Jesus performs before he has to submit to his death at crucifixion is to bring a person back to life. We're seeing two people in chapter nine being saved and Tabitha being saved from death.

Dr. Casey Griffiths continues to explore the Book of Acts and the power of the Holy Ghost in the lives of the disciples of Jesus Christ.
