Reading Challenge: ACTS

We are beginning a new teaching series at church entitled: SENT. This series will go for four weeks throughout the month of June. One of the things we are going to do to help make the experience and the content sink in even deeper is to read the book of Acts.

The book of Acts is the story of how the church was launched into action after the resurrection of Jesus. It is 28 chapters of fast-moving action. In this book we hear Jesus commission his disciples, we see the Holy Spirit comes to fill the believers, we see people repenting and being baptized, we see the church persecuted, and then we see the conversion of Paul and follow him through his three missionary journeys.

We are going to do this reading challenge M-F. We are going to alternate doing one chapter per day and two chapters per day beginning this Thursday, June 4th. Thursday you will read Acts 1-2 and Tuesday you will read Acts 3. If we alternate like this throughout the entire book, we will finish on the last day of June. Make a commitment to invest a small amount of time into something that can pay huge dividends in your walk with Jesus.
