The book of Acts gives us a history of the work of the early church the Holy Spirit, within the theatre of the known world. From the empowering by the Holy Spirit, the early church made a great impact on all it encountered. Acts is one of the most exciting and challenging of the New Testament, filled as it is with the works of the early church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, the ‘tongues of fire’ and rushing wind on the day of Pentecost, as well as ‘speaking in other tongues’, an outward sign and witness to the onlookers that The Lord was with them—a witnessed event that resulted in 3,000 conversions at a single meeting!
