Acts is our history book on the first century church.
How these early Christians built their Churches, solved their disputes and supported one another teaches us how we should live now and how our Churches should behave. It was written between 60 and 70 A.D. and spans about 30 years, from the formation of the early Christian Church to Paul s imprisonment in Rome. Acts opens with Luke recounting Jesus instructions for the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came to them. This sign would be their commission to go out and witness the risen Christ. After Jesus said this, He ascended into heaven.
