The Acts
Acts 4:32-37
The Book of Acts is full of powerful miracles of healing and people coming to believe in Jesus as Lord. It can lead us to ask why we don’t see the same kind of miracles today. What we will discover is that God used many different types of miracles to grow the early church and He is still doing miracles today, although they might look different than we expect.

Series Information
The author of the book of Acts is the historian Luke, who was inspired by the Holy Spirit to recount not only the accurate details of Jesus’ life in the gospel of Luke but also the historical account of the birth of the Church in the book of Acts. The book of Acts is sometimes thought to be named so because it is the “acts” of the Apostles or the acts of the early church.
