The Book of Acts is vital not only for its vivid historical record,
but also for the inspiration which it brings to us now. Today's
church can seek to recapture something of the early confidence,
enthusiasm, vision and power of the church of the first century.
Despite all its imperfections and troubles, the young church
clearly had been overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit, who thrust it out
to witness. The experiences of the early church have lots to say
about issues that concern Christians today. What can Acts tell us
about extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit? How should
churches structure themselves - with elders, deacons, pastors or
all three? And, of course, how should the church reach out into a
lost world, with the glorious message of salvation? As John Stott
concludes: 'The Acts of the Apostles have long ago finished: the
acts of the followers of Jesus will continue until the end of the
world.'
