UNSTOPPABLE POWER!
The early church began with a handful of disciples who within a few years “turned the world upside down” with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How did they do it? In his new series on the book of Acts, Dr. Robert Jeffress will help you harness the same, extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit that allowed the early church to become an “Unstoppable Power” for God
Introduction: Today, we begin our study of the book of Acts that records the supernatural birth and growth of the church of Jesus Christ.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN HEALING
Today, we are going to explore the first miracle ever performed in the church that resulted in the healing of a lame man. Does God still heal people today? If so, why doesn’t He heal everyone who asks? We will discover the answer to those questions and more in Acts 3.

NO OTHER NAME - Acts 4:1-31
Today, we have come to another of many “firsts” in the book of Acts: the first instance of persecution because of the proclamation of the gospel. As we observe how Peter and John reacted to the threats of the religious leaders, we can learn some important principles for how to react when – not if – persecution comes.

THE CHURCH IN THE KETTLE
Acts 5:12-42
Are Christians being persecuted for their faith today? In some parts of the world, yes. But in other countries like the United States, persecution begins subtly and grows incrementally — just as it did in the First Century, as we will see in today’s passage.

THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR Acts 6:8-8:1
Opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ is at times subtle, while at other times opposition is blatant as illustrated in today’s passage. Acts 7 records the death of the first Christian in history and provides a model for how Christians should respond to the inevitable attacks from unbelievers.

PORTRAIT OF AN EFFECTIVE EVANGELIST
The first – and only – person called an “evangelist” in the Bible was not a paid professional apostle or pastor, but a layperson named Philip. Today, we are going to discover how God used this ordinary Christian in an extraordinary way to be the first person to take the gospel beyond the city limits of Jerusalem.

THE GREATEST CONVERSION IN HISTORY
Acts 9:1-43
