In Acts, Paul's story is really about the unstoppable word of God. Luke has provided a theological history that traces the spread of the good news from Jerusalem to Rome. It's almost like Luke is including and challenging the reader to consider your own like ending. We can help spread the kingdom of the risen king to the ends of the earth.
Dr. Scott Woodward explores Paul being the Lord’s messenger as the people become members of the new covenant and how the new congregations breach the various cultural and personal differences to become one people.
